Chicken chops are easy to prepare at first glance. But not every housewife can boast of a juicy and tender dish. They often come out dry and tough. To avoid this, you should know the secrets of cooking chops, which will help keep the juice and tenderness of the meat.
It is necessary
-
- chicken breasts - 3 pieces;
- egg - 2 pieces;
- potatoes - 2 pieces;
- salt
- pepper - to taste;
- mustard - a pinch;
- garlic - 2 cloves;
- vegetable oil;
- a tomato;
- lettuce leaves.
Instructions
Step 1
Wash the chicken breasts and drain. Dip them with a napkin or towel before cooking. Removing excess moisture is an important prerequisite for keeping the meat juicy. The liquid during frying reduces the temperature of the oil, preventing the rapid formation of a crust. As a result, the breasts lose their juice.
Step 2
Beat the meat with a hammer until tender. The main thing here is not to overdo it, since the muscles of the chicken breast are soft. As a result, the fillet chop should not show through.
Step 3
In a bowl, combine a small amount of vegetable oil (2 tablespoons), freshly ground pepper, a pinch of mustard and finely chopped garlic. Brush the chicken fillet with this mixture. This will give the chops a spicy taste and aroma, while frying it will retain the juice inside the meat.
Step 4
Peel and grate potatoes.
Step 5
Beat 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly.
Step 6
Dip the chop in an egg, then in grated potatoes. Fry in a very well preheated skillet. It should be so hot that the meat is cooked on each side for 2-3 minutes.
Step 7
Season the chops with salt on each side after crusting. If you use salt in advance, then the meat will lose a lot of juice and will turn out to be dry.
Step 8
Serve the chops, garnish with tomato slices and lettuce.
