Step 2: Paneed Chicken Mini Fillets
1Kilo chicken mini fillets or thinly sliced chicken breasts
100g plain flour..seasoned

Method
- Pat dry each chicken fillet
- In a shallow dish add the seasoned flour
- In a second dish add the beaten eggs
- In a third dish add the pre mixed seasoned panko crumb
- Dredge the chicken pieces on both sides in the flour making sure to shake off any excess flour
- Coat both sides with egg mixture, letting any excess egg drip back into the dish
- Transfer the coated chicken into the seasoned crumb dish, making sure to press down the chicken to coat the chicken on both sides evenly
- In a large frying pan heat enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan, over a medium heat
- Cook the chicken on both sides in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the pan…periodically remove any burnt bits from the pan and top up with oil as required
- The lightly coloured chicken may be completely cooked in the pan or once it starts to colour may be finished off on a tray in the oven (preheated to fan180c)
- When the chicken has reached an internal temperature of 74c the chicken is ready to serve.
