Simple Chicken Scaloppine Recipe ihor26

Ingredients

• 1 lb boneless
• skinless chicken breast
• 1 tsp of ground black pepper
• salt (to taste)
• 1 tsp chili pepper (minced if fresh
• crushed if dry) - Optional
• 1 tsp ginger (mashed) - Optional
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove of garlic
• 2 tbsp of wheat flour
• 1 egg

Instructions

1. Slice the chicken breasts length-wise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
2. Tenderize on both sides with the rough side of a meat mallet.
3. (I find that placing an oven mitt covered with a paper towel underneath a plastic cutting board is a great way to mitigate the noise).
4. Salt, pepper, and spice the cutlets on both sides.
5. I like to use mashed ginger and hot pepper, though this is a great place to improvise.
6. Cover and refrigerate for 15 mins to a half hour.
7. Heat olive oil in the pan on medium until it shimmers.
8. Crush a garlic clove with the flat side of a knife and fry until golden on both sides.
9. Remove.
10. Dip each cutlet in flour, making sure to coat both sides evenly.
11. Beat or whisk the egg.
12. Dip each floured cutlet into the egg, covering both sides.
13. Fry the cutlets on medium until the egg starts turning golden brown along the edges (about 3 mins), then flip.
14. Fry on the other side until golden brown (about 2 mins).
