Ingredients:
For the Crispy Chicken:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1/2 cup corn flour
- 2 eggs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Cooking oil for frying
For the Lime Yogurt Sauce:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- Zest and juice of 1 lime
- 1 clove garlic minced (alternate we have)
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Crispy Chicken:
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the corn flour in one shallow bowl, beat the eggs in another bowl, and place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
2. Fry the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they're golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the partially cooked chicken breasts to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the preheated oven for about 10-15 minutes or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
3. Make the Lime Yogurt Sauce:
- In a bowl, combine plain Greek yogurt, lime zest, lime juice, minced garlic, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the crispy chicken breasts with a generous dollop of lime yogurt sauce on the side.
- You can also garnish with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges for extra freshness.
