This is a breadcrumbed coated chicken recipe, unlike regular flour fried chicken. The lemon gives a hint of zing. If you desire a more pronounced lemony flavor, add double the zest, which I prefer. Check out my sauces...Recipe #430587, recipe #391028, recipe #431929 or even recipe #449558. .

Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/4 cups breadcrumbs (Italian or plain)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon lemon zest, finely grated (increase if desired)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper (fresh makes a difference)
1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging (approximate)
2 large eggs, beaten
4 (4 -6 ounce) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips (or fingers or tenders)
1/2 cup oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Put the flour, eggs and the bread crumbs each separately in 3 shallow dishes. Stir into the flour the lemon zest. Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with garlic powder, salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the breast through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess drip back into the bowl. Finally, lay the strips in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press into the breading to coat. Lay on a piece of waxed paper. Repeat until all strips are coated.
  • Add the oil to a large skillet (12 inches in diameter and cast iron is best) over medium heat until hot. Lay several chicken strips in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until nicely browned, about 3-4 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side, about 3-4 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining strips. Transfer chicken to a paper towel lined plate to drain.

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 slices white bread (about 8 ounces)*
3 tablespoons grated parmesan
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley leaves
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
About 1 cup all-purpose flour, for dredging
2 large eggs, beaten
3 boneless skinless chicken breast, each about 8 ounces
Vegetable oil, for shallow frying

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • To make bread crumbs: Tear the bread into pieces. Spread bread out on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave on HIGH for 1 minute to dry out the bread. (Alternately, spread the bread out on a baking sheet and dry in a 350 degree F oven for 12 minutes.) Let cool and pulse the dried bread in a food processor with the Parmesan, parsley, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and pepper.
  • Put the flour, eggs, and bread crumb mixture in 3 separate shallow dishes.
  • With the flat side of a cooks' knife or the smooth side of a meat-pounder, pound each breast to equal thickness between 2 sheets of plastic wrap. Cut into 1 1/2-inch strips pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Dip each strip into the flour, then shake off the excess. Next, run the strips through the egg to coat it lightly and hold the chicken over the liquid to let any excess fall back into the bowl. Finally, lay the strips in the bread crumbs, turn it over and press it into the breading to evenly coat. Lay on a piece of waxedpaper.
  • Heat 1/4-inch of oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot and shimmering. Lay 2 or 3 chicken strips at a time in the pan. Cook the chicken without turning until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook until equally brown on the other side and the chicken is cooked through, about 2 to 3 minutes more. Repeat with the remaining 2 breasts. Transfer chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for best results. You can also use chicken tenders if you prefer.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated in flour, egg, and bread crumbs. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken and prevent it from falling off during cooking.
  • Use a shallow dish for dredging the chicken. This will help you to evenly coat the chicken in the flour, egg, and bread crumbs without making a mess.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick together.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat until it is golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 4-5 minutes per side.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Conclusion:

Breaded chicken fingers are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick and easy meal, or they can be served as an appetizer or snack.
