Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 10 minutes Total time: 25 minutes Number of servings: 4 Ingredients: - 685 g chicken tender (the delicate and juicy part of the chicken breast) - 3 large eggs - 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (for an intense flavor) - 100 g grated cheese (choose a cheese with a strong flavor, such as cheddar or a local cheese) - Salt and pepper to taste - 100 g flour - 200 g breadcrumbs (try homemade breadcrumbs for a better taste) - Oil for frying (choose an oil with a high smoke point, such as sunflower oil or peanut oil) Preparation: 1. Preparing the workspace: Before you start, make sure you have everything at hand. Prepare three plates: one for flour, one for eggs, and one for breadcrumbs. In the egg plate, add the mustard, salt, pepper, and beat well with a fork until you get a homogeneous mixture. 2. Preparing the chicken tender: Cut the chicken tender into uniform-sized pieces, about 3-4 cm, for even cooking. These pieces are delicious and easy to eat. 3. Breading: Take each piece of chicken tender and dip it in flour, making sure it is evenly coated. Shake off the excess flour, then dip the piece in the egg-mustard mixture, and finally in the breadcrumbs, ensuring it is well covered. This double breading technique gives an extraordinarily crispy crust. 4. Frying: Heat a wok pan over medium heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot (you can check this by dropping a drop of water – if it sizzles, it’s ready), place the chicken tender pieces in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy. 5. Finishing and serving: Once the pieces are evenly fried, remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Place them on a plate, add a few slices of lemon and fresh herbs, such as parsley or dill, for an extra touch of flavor and color. Serving suggestions: This chicken tender in cheese and mustard crust is delicious served alongside a fresh green salad, fries, or mashed potatoes. It can also be enjoyed with yogurt sauces or spicy sauces for an extra kick of flavor. Practical tips: - If you want to achieve an even crispier crust, try adding some panko breadcrumbs to the breadcrumb mixture. - Experiment with different types of cheese: mozzarella or parmesan can add a different and more interesting flavor. - Instead of Dijon mustard, you can use classic mustard or even soy sauce for an Asian twist.
