They say that a chicken in a crisp is very fond of children. And this is true. But adults, often referring to babies, are silent about how they themselves are not indifferent to chicken in a golden crust. Many are embarrassed by the fact that this dish can not be attributed either to a healthy diet or to haute cuisine. Let's try to fix everything, making the dish less caloric, but more refined?
Pick your recipe
You will need
- - ½ cup Dijon mustard;
- - ½ cup liquid honey;
- - ¼ cup vegetable oil;
- - 3 tablespoons of wine vinegar;
- - 3 chicken breasts with a total weight of about 1 ½ kilograms;
- - 2 cups of almond "petals";
- - ¼ cup flour.
Instruction manual
1
Large, chubby chicken breasts should be cut in half lengthwise and slightly beat off, after cutting off excess fat. So that the cripples do not dirty your kitchen, just wrap the meat in cling film. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2
Mix in a combine in a pulsed mode honey with Dijon mustard and vegetable oil. If honey is too thick, warm it in a water bath. To do this, put a bowl of honey in a saucepan half filled with boiling water, and wait until the sweetness becomes fluid.
3
Roll each piece of chicken in flour, grease with a kitchen silicone brush on both sides with a honey-mustard mixture.
4
Almond "petals" are called thinly sliced almonds. Pour them into a wide, flat plate. Lay each piece of chicken, with force pressing it to the almonds, first on one side, then on the other. Put on a baking sheet pre-coated with food parchment and place in the oven preheated to 200 ° C. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and leave for another 5 minutes. During this time, the meat will not only finally reach readiness, but also the juices in it will be evenly distributed and will not leak out with the first cut, leaving the chicken dry and stiff.
note
If you want to cook chicken as in KFC, breaded it in cornflakes and deep-fry.
