Ingredients

600 gram chicken breast fillets

1 1/4 cup (125 grams) dry breadcrumbs

1/2 cup (40 grams) grated parmesan

seasoned flour, to dust

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 tablespoon olive oil

15 gram unsalted butter

lemon wedges, gherkins, to serve

Method

1.Cut each chicken fillet into two thin halves by slicing horizontally through centre. Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece slightly between two sheets of plastic wrap. Cut diagonally into 4cm-wide strips.

2.Combine breadcrumbs and parmesan in a shallow bowl. Toss chicken pieces in seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Dip each piece in egg and coat thoroughly with breadcrumb mixture.

3.In a large frying pan, heat butter and half the oil on medium-high. Fry chicken 4 minutes, turning and adding remaining oil as necessary, until golden on both sides. Remove from pan and cool before placing in an airtight container. Pack lemon wedges and gherkins in two separate containers to serve.

Add 2 tablespoons of ground pine nuts to the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, if desired.
