This is a valuable low-calorie product that is both dietary and nutritious.

What can you cook for a second chicken fillet?

Chicken fillet is an ideal ingredient for a variety of meat dishes that suit everyone without exception.

How and how long to fry chicken fillet so as not to dry it out

With all its advantages, chicken fillet has only one drawback: if you cook it incorrectly, it becomes tough and dry. When purchasing, choose chilled breasts that are light pink in color. To preserve the juice and preserve the delicate texture of the fibers, it is preferable to cut the meat across the fibers, then when heat treated in a frying pan, they seem to be sealed, maintaining juiciness.

Another way to preserve the delicate taste is to use batter. Prepared without milk or cream, it will reliably preserve the structure of the chicken fillet fibers. Pay attention to the frying time in a frying pan: for pieces no more than a centimeter thick, 2-3 minutes will be enough. To cook thicker pieces, increase the frying time to 4-5 minutes, and then simmer them with sour cream, cream or tomato sauce.

For lovers of healthy food, a dish from this part of the chicken carcass cooked in a frying pan will not bring additional calories if you use a minimum of vegetable oil during cooking. Roasting will be needed to “seal” the fibers of the meat, preserving the juices inside each piece. You can always offer chicken skewers to children, and for those who want to lose weight, dishes consisting of fillet, vegetables, and hard cheeses are suitable.

Chicken fillet chops in batter

Chicken chops turn out tasty and tender if you cut the breast across the grain into slices no thicker than 1.5 cm. When cutting longitudinally along one half of the fillet, so that the meat is not dry, keep it in batter for half an hour to an hour. Boiled rice with curry would be a wonderful side dish for chicken chops. The taste of the latter goes well with poultry, so this dish will be satisfying and healthy.

To cook chicken breast in a frying pan, you will need:

• chicken fillet – 4 halves (or 2 breasts);
• salt, spices - to taste;
• egg – 3-4 pcs.;
• flour – 2-3 tablespoons;
• vegetable oil – 3-4 tablespoons.

Available materials:

• cling film;
• chop hammer;
• container for batter;
• pan.

Step-by-step recipe on how to cook chicken fillet in batter in a frying pan:

1. Rinse the breast halves under running water. Dry using a paper towel.
2. Using a sharp knife, cut the meat into thin slices 1.5-2 cm thick.
3. Roll out the cling film, carefully place the pieces and wrap. This is necessary so that the chicken meat retains its integrity during the beating process.
4. Lightly pound the chicken pieces. Do not overdo it! The fibers of the loin are very delicate, so excessive force can cause the juice to leak out, and the finished dish will become dry and tasteless.
5. Remove the film and salt the chops on each side.
6. Prepare the batter:
   • Break the eggs, mixing thoroughly with a whisk.
   • Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and spices to taste. Whisk again.
   • Add 1 tbsp. l. flour, stirring the mixture. You must prepare a viscous, thick, homogeneous mass without lumps.
7. Heat a frying pan, pour in a tablespoon of refined vegetable oil.
8. Dip each piece of chicken fillet into the batter so that the batter covers the surface of the entire chop, and place in a preheated frying pan.
9. It is recommended to fry for no more than 4-5 minutes on each side.
10. You can check the readiness of the chops by piercing a piece of cooked meat with a toothpick or fork in the thickest place: the liquid (juice) that flows out should be light in color.

If you want to cook chicken chops for kids, you can “lengthen” the process a little: after 4 minutes of frying, reduce the heat to very low and cover the pan with a lid to simmer the meat for 2 minutes. This way the fillet will stew well, and you will have peace of mind for your child. The chicken breast prepared in this way will be juicy and tender, but the breaded crust will become less crispy.
