Jamie Oliver Crunchy Garlic Chicken Nuggets Recipes

CRISPY GARLICKY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between two large sheets of greaseproof paper, and whack with the base of a large non-stick frying pan to flatten them to about 1cm thick.
• Tear the bread into a food processor, then peel, chop and add the garlic, and blitz into fairly fine crumbs.
• Pour the crumbs over the chicken, roughly pat on to each side, then re-cover with the paper and whack again, to hammer the crumbs into the chicken and flatten them further.
• Put the pan on a medium heat. Fry the crumbed chicken in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until crisp, golden and cooked through.
• Slice, plate up, season to perfection with sea salt and black pepper, sprinkle with lemon-dressed rocket, and serve with lemon wedges, for squeezing over.

Steps:

• Peel the garlic and zest the lemon. Put the crackers into a food processor with the butter, garlic, parsley sprigs, lemon zest and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, then whiz until the mixture is very fine, and pour on to a plate.
• Sprinkle the flour on to a second 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 the breasts flatten out a bit.
• Dip the chicken into the flour until both sides are completely coated, then dip into the egg and finally into the flavoured crumbs. Push the crumbs on to the chicken breasts so they stick - you want the meat to be totally coated.
• You can either bake or fry the chicken. If baking, preheat your oven to full whack (240°C/475ºF/gas 9), place your chicken on a sheet pan and cook for 15 minutes. If frying, put a frying pan on a medium heat, pour in a few good lugs of olive oil and cook the chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through, golden and crisp.
• Either serve the chicken breasts whole, or cut them into strips and pile them on a plate. Beautiful and simple served with a lemon wedge for squeezing over, and a tiny sprinkling of salt. Great with a lovely fresh salad or simply dressed veggies.
