Fragrant chicken, fragrant wings or spicy legs - what to cook for dinner? Chicken chop in bread crumbs is a great budget and quick option for all households.

Selection of ingredients

First, choose the chicken meat. For chops, both breast and meat, separated from the leg bone, are suitable. It's a matter of taste. If the breast seems dryish, then you have to tinker with the legs. The fillet should be dense and elastic, without foreign odors. The best choice would be a young chicken grown in your own yard. If this is out of the question, then a bird from a trusted manufacturer is a good option.

Breadcrumbs can be bought at the store or made by yourself. This product, despite the simplicity of the composition, is easily spoiled. Check the date of manufacture. Rancid taste or unusual smell are the main troubles of shop breading. Chicken fillet chops in homemade breadcrumbs will be tastier and more aromatic. It is worth browning pieces of stale bread in the oven, chop with a blender - and a win-win breading is ready. Bakery products with a high sugar content will not work. Sweet notes in the dish will be superfluous.

Chicken meat can be replacedturkey, but it is a mistake to believe that the dish will be dietary. Cooking in the form of oil frying is the enemy of proper nutrition.

Everyday recipe

Chicken chop in breadcrumbs has a variety of subtleties of cooking. It is important to know that the purpose of breading is to “seal” the meat so that the latter retains all the juices as much as possible. And then even the driest chicken breast will turn out to be unusually tender. So, the chicken fillet was washed, dried with a napkin, beaten off with a hammer. Then they s alted, peppered to your taste, rolled in homemade breadcrumbs and laid in a frying pan with heated sunflower oil. Browned on one side, without covering the pan, turned over, browned on the other side. Chicken meat cooks quickly, so you do not need to dry it much. Cover with a lid in just a couple of minutes for cooking in order to sweat the chop a little and at the same time not spoil the crisp.

Holiday recipe

The holiday option won't take long. It is only necessary to marinate the chicken chops in advance. In a pan, let there be olive oil, and instead of breadcrumbs, sesame seeds. That's all the features. For pickling, you can use a mixture of lime, s alt and pepper. Lemon, balsamic vinegar or soy sauce perfectly emphasize the taste of the bird. The pickling process should not be long - 20 minutes is enough. Dip the meat pieces in the beaten egg whites. This is necessary in order for the sesame seed toattached securely. Roll in sesame seeds and send to the pan. Fry on both sides and serve with garnish.

Garnish

Everyone's favorite mashed potatoes and chicken chop in breadcrumbs are classics of the Russian feast genre. Even despite the advice of nutritionists who claim that these products are incompatible. In fact, few people know that initially high-calorie potatoes were considered a delicacy with a measure of consumption of no more than 1-2 tubers. A vegetable side dish will be a useful and no less tasty addition. Stewed vegetables - broccoli, cauliflower or white cabbage, zucchini, zucchini, eggplant - the choice is huge. A fresh dressed salad or regular seasonal cuts are an easy summer side dish. For winter - steamed frozen vegetables with rice. Experiment, add variety to everyday dishes, and then even the usual chicken chop in breadcrumbs will become your culinary masterpiece.
