Additionally, the sour cream and oil provide healthy fats, which contribute to good nutrient absorption. A serving of cornflake chicken has approximately 400-500 calories, depending on the amount of oil used for frying. Step-by-step preparation 1. Preparing the chicken breast Start by deboning the chicken breast and cutting it into smaller pieces, about 3-4 cm. These will cook evenly and be easier to eat. 2. Marinating In a bowl, add the sour cream, oil, mustard, salt, pepper, paprika, and crushed garlic cloves. Mix well until you obtain a smooth paste. Coat each piece of chicken breast in this mixture, ensuring they are evenly covered. Then, place the chicken pieces in a plastic bag, seal it well, and leave it in the fridge for 3-4 hours. This marination will ensure the chicken becomes flavorful and delicious. 3. Preparing the coating mixture After the marinating time has passed, prepare the coating mixture. In a bowl, beat the egg with a fork and add one tablespoon of flour and one tablespoon of milk, mixing until you achieve a smooth consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. 4. Crushing the cornflakes Place the cornflakes in a food processor and crush them until they become a coarse powder. Mix them with the garlic powder to enhance the flavor. 5. Frying Heat the oil in a deep skillet over medium heat. Take each marinated chicken piece, dip it in the egg mixture, then in the cornflakes, ensuring they are well coated. Place the pieces in the skillet and fry them on low heat until they become golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes on each side. 6. Finalizing After frying, remove the chicken onto an absorbent paper towel to eliminate excess oil. Serving Cornflake chicken is delicious served warm, alongside sides like French fries, mashed potatoes, or boiled rice. A serving of sweet or spicy ketchup will add extra flavor to this dish. You can also experiment with yogurt sauces or mustard-based sauces for a fresh touch.
