Directions
- 1
Slice the chicken breast into fillets or strips, whichever size you prefer.
- 2
Season the chicken with salt, pressed garlic, cumin, pepper and olive oil. Toss well to coat every piece evenly.
- 3
Let the chicken rest for 15 minutes at room temperature so the flavors can develop.
- 4
Beat the egg in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Spread the seasoned flour on a flat plate.
- 5
Dip each fillet in the beaten egg, then immediately coat it in the seasoned flour, pressing lightly so the breading adheres well.
- 6
Heat enough oil in a pan to cover the fillets. Once the oil is very hot, add the fillets and fry until golden on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crunch, mix one tablespoon of cornstarch into the seasoned flour. Serve alongside a fresh green salad and a garlic yogurt dipping sauce.
