Directions
- 1
Slice the chicken breast into thin, even strips about 1.5 cm wide.
- 2
In a bowl, combine garlic, grated onion, oregano, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat evenly.
- 3
Allow to marinate for 10–15 minutes so the flavors can soak in.
- 4
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: flour, beaten eggs and breadcrumbs.
- 5
Coat each strip in flour first (shake off excess), dip in beaten egg, then press into breadcrumbs to coat well.
- 6
Heat plenty of oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until very hot.
- 7
Fry the strips in small batches for 3–4 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- 8
Drain on paper towels and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crunch, mix the breadcrumbs with a pinch of smoked paprika or grated Parmesan. Avoid crowding the pan to keep the oil temperature steady and ensure even browning.
