Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 150 ml plain yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 150 g cornflakes crushed
  • 1 tsp sweet paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • sunflower oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts into even strips. This ensures they cook quickly and stay tender.
  • Make the Coating: Whisk together yogurt, egg, flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder until smooth.
  • Coat the Chicken: Add the chicken strips to the mixture, making sure every piece is fully coated in the yogurt-spice blend.
  • Bread with Cornflakes: Briefly pulse the cornflakes in a mixer until crushed (they should stay slightly chunky, not powdery). Press each yogurt-coated chicken strip into the crushed cornflakes, making sure it’s well covered on all sides.
  • Fry Until Golden: Heat sunflower oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken strips in batches until golden and crispy on all sides.
  • Drain and Rest: Remove the chicken from the oil and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil before serving.
