Tuscan garlic chicken
To prepare a delicious chicken breast meal, we will start by gathering the necessary ingredients. We need 500 grams of chicken breast, 200 grams of flour, a teaspoon of salt, a teaspoon of ground black pepper, and a tablespoon of Italian herbs – a perfect combination of basil, oregano, and thyme. We will also need three tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, which will add a rich flavor and intense taste to our dish.
We begin by preparing the flour. In a large bowl, we mix the flour with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. This mixture will give a special flavor to the chicken breast, and the crust will become crispy and savory. If desired, we can also add a little grated Parmesan for extra flavor. After mixing the dry ingredients well, we can move on to preparing the chicken breast.
If we choose to use a whole chicken breast, it is recommended to cut it into desired slices so that it cooks evenly. Before dipping it into the flour mixture, we can gently pat it dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will help achieve a crispier crust. As soon as the chicken slices are dry, we coat them in the flour mixture, ensuring that each piece is evenly covered.
In a deep skillet, we heat the olive oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot enough, we add the chicken breast slices. It is important not to overcrowd the skillet, so if we have many slices, we can fry them in batches. We let the chicken breast fry for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until it becomes golden and crispy. Finally, we remove the chicken slices to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
This fried chicken breast can be served alongside a fresh salad for a contrast of textures and flavors. It can also be incorporated into a delicious sandwich or served with a side of sautéed vegetables. This simple yet flavorful recipe is sure to become a family favorite, offering a special dish full of taste and aroma, perfect for any occasion. Enjoy your meal!
