Ingredients

4 boneless free-range chicken breasts
135 g plain breadcrumbs
100 g Parmigiano Reggiano, finely grated
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
140 g flour
2 free-range eggs, beaten
3 T extra-virgin olive oil
3 T butter
50 g sugar snap peas, for serving
chilli crunch, for serving to serve

Method

1. Create a dredging stationing by combining breadcrumbs and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. In a separate bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Crack the eggs in a separate bowl and set aside.

2. Coat chicken breasts in seasoned flour, then dip individually into the egg, allowing the excess to drip off. Roll each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, then fry in the olive oil and butter until golden brown.

3. Serve with sugar snap peas, chilli crunch and extra Parmigiano Reggiano.
