• 総時間: 40 minutes

材料

2 large chicken breasts (at least 16 ounces total)

4 ounces Parmesan cheese, about 1 cup grated

2 to 3 whole eggs, beaten

2 cups sourdough bread crumbs

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs

1 teaspoon dried garlic granules

2 cups lard, or other healthy frying fat like avocado oil, tallow, coconut oil, or ghee.

手順

Add the grated Parmesan cheese to your food processor or blender and puree it until it forms a fine powder. Remove the cheese powder to a plate and set it aside.

Tear up several pieces of stale sourdough bread and add them to the food processor. Pulse the bread until a sandy consistency is reached. Remove the bread crumbs to a separate plate and set them aside.

Cut each chicken breast lengthwise into four or five long strips. Season the cut chicken with the salt, herbs, and garlic.

Add the eggs to a bowl and beat them well. Start with two eggs, you can always add a third if needed.

Add the fat/oil to a large deep cast iron. I use my Dutch oven. The oil should be about 1 inch deep. Heat oil to around 400°F over medium to medium-high heat. If the oil starts to smoke it's too hot!

Working one at a time, take a chicken strip and roll it in the Parmesan cheese. Then coat it gently with beaten eggs. Finally roll the strip in your sourdough bread crumbs. Set that strip to the side of the plate and do the same breading technique to three more strips.

Once four strips have been breaded, gently lay them into the hot oil. Fry the chicken on the first side until it is golden brown. Do not disturb the chicken or move it around in the pan.

Once the chicken is browned nicely on the first side, use tongs or a spatula to carefully flip the chicken. Fry on the second side until evenly browned.

While the chicken is cooking you can start to bread the second batch.

Remove the golden-brown chicken strips from the pan and cool them on a wire rack or on absorbent towels.
