Egyptian Chicken Panne Breaded Fried Chicken Breasts Recipes

EGYPTIAN CHICKEN PANNE (BREADED FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS)

Steps:

• Take and slice your chicken breasts into thinner slices. (Using a sharp knife, and holding one hand on top of breast, slice across horizontaly giving you a thinner sliced breast. So one breast should yield about 3 thinner pieces or so.).
• Put slices into glass mixing bowl or dish.
• Squeeze the juice of lemon onto chicken slices.
• Add the onion liquid (you can achieve liquid by blending onion in a blender or food processor).
• Add salt & pepper and cover with plastic wrap, put in refrigerator for at least an hour.
• When ready to fry, take a slice and dip into bowl filled with bread crumbs. Do this until all chicken is breaded, setting each slice on a plate. (I sometimes bread ahead of time, putting breaded slices into refrigerator until ready to fry, seems the coating stays alittle better this way.).
• Add oil in a large frying pan, not too much, just enough to cover bottom of each slice.
• Fry until golden brown on each side.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

BAKED BREADED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 190°C.
• Grease an ovenproof dish (I use butter but I am sure olive oil could work).
• Tear the bread into pieces and put it into a mixer, add the seeds and turn them into rough breadcrumbs.
• Add the parmesan, pepper and lemon zest (if using).
• Melt the butter.
• Add the butter to the breadcrumb mixture and mix well.
• Put the chicken breasts in the ovenproof dish and pat the breadcrumb mixture firmly down on top of them, covering all of the flesh.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes.
• Optional: Once the chicken is cooked take it from the dish and add the lemon juice to the pan, mix well and serve as a side-sauce. This is very strong and not everyone likes it but it works very well with veggies such as broccoli. Use sparingly!
