is needed now More than ever
Ingredients:
1 clove of garlic, peeled
Zest of 1 lemon
6 crackers
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 sprigs of fresh parsley
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
2 heaped tablespoons plain flour
1 large free-range egg
2 skinless free-range chicken breast fillets
Method:
Preheat your oven to 240°C/475ºF/gas 9. Get two large plates ready.
Put the crackers into a food processor with the butter, garlic, parsley sprigs, lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Blitz them until the mixture is very fine and pour on to one of the plates.
Sprinkle the flour on to the other plate. Crack the egg into a small bowl and beat with a fork.
Lightly score the underside of the chicken breasts. Put a square of clingfilm over each one and bash a few times with the bottom of a pan until they flatten out a little.
Dip the chicken into the flour until both sides are completely coated, then dip into the egg and finally into the flavoured crumbs, making sure the whole piece of chicken is covered in crumbs.
Place your chicken on a lined baking tray and cook for 15 minutes, until cooked through, golden and crisp. You can either serve the chicken breasts whole or cut them into strips.
