Ingredients

1. Butterfly the chicken breasts. Combine the eggs, garlic and mustard in a bowl. Marinate the chicken overnight for the best results.

2. Combine the breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, paprika, cayenne pepper, dried oregano, salt and pepper.

3. When you’re ready to start frying, heat the oil in a pan and coat the chicken well in the sesame crumb mixture. Fry the chicken for a few minutes on each side until crispy and golden on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.
