Light breaded crispy chicken and thyme

Difficulty:  Time:

INGREDIENTS:(x 2 persons)

• - 2 free-range chicken breasts
• - 100 g plain breadcrumbs
• - 1 handful of oregano or thyme
• - salt
• - extra-virgin olive oil

WHAT TO DO:

• 1. Slice the chicken breasts into small fillets or slices.
• 2. Place the breadcrumbs with the oregano on a plate or in a box. Put the chicken into the mix and make sure all sides of the chicken are covered with the breadcrumbs. Then keep the chicken aside.
• 3. In the meanwhile pre-heat a non-sticky griddle pan. When the pan is hot, reduce the heat and cook the chicken until the colour is gold and it looks crispy.
• 4. Adjust with salt and a drizzle of olive oil just before serving. Super easy and yummy!

TIPS & TRICKS:

• - This recipe could be a good tip for a light, quick lunch.
• - I suggest adding the salt only at the end to avoid the meat to get to stiff while cooking.
• - A nice alternative is with turkey fillets.
• - If you like a slightly stronger flavour, spread a hint of mustard on the chicken before rolling them into the breadcrumbs.
• - It is nicely served with a fresh mixed salad and tomatoes, simply dressed with extra-virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar and salt, and eventually some mixed seed on top.
• ‘Buon appetito’!
