Sanhai Chicken

To prepare a delicious recipe for breaded chicken breast with intense flavor, we start by making sure we have all the necessary ingredients at hand. This recipe is perfect for a quick dinner, but also for more special moments when you want to impress family or friends with a tasty and easy-to-make dish.

The first step is to choose a fresh, quality chicken breast, which you will cut into thin pieces, about 1 cm thick. This way, the meat will cook evenly and become tender. It is important to use a sharp knife to obtain uniform slices. You can cut the chicken breast into strips or cubes, depending on your preferences.

After preparing the meat, you will need to make a delicious mixture that will add flavor to the chicken. Crack the eggs into a large bowl and add the soy sauce. This will bring a salty and umami note to your dish. Then add the mustard, which will contribute a slightly spicy flavor and help bind the ingredients. Next, don't forget to add salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the amount of salt, as the soy sauce is already salty.

An essential ingredient in this recipe is fresh dill, which you can chop finely. Its flavors will provide a pleasant contrast and freshness to the dish. After adding all the ingredients to the bowl, whisk them well with a whisk or fork until the mixture becomes homogeneous. This mixture will become a wonderful marinade for the chicken.

Now take each piece of chicken and coat it in flour. This step is essential for achieving a crispy and golden crust. By doing this, the flour will help absorb the marinade, providing better texture. After you have coated the chicken pieces in flour, dip them into the egg and spice mixture. Make sure each piece is well covered.

In a deep pan, heat the oil over medium heat. It is important for the oil to be well heated before adding the chicken to avoid excessive oil absorption. When the oil starts to lightly smoke, carefully add the chicken pieces to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow air circulation and achieve even frying. Let the chicken fry until golden and crispy, about 4-5 minutes on each side.

Once the chicken is ready, remove it to a plate lined with parchment paper to absorb excess oil. This detail is crucial for keeping the dish light and healthy. You can serve the breaded chicken alongside a fresh salad or with a side of fries or mashed potatoes, and for an extra touch of flavor, you can add a slice of lemon or a yogurt sauce flavored with herbs.

This breaded chicken breast recipe is not only simple but also extremely versatile, allowing you to experiment with different spices and flavors. You can add, for example, garlic or cumin to the marinade, or you can try substituting dill with other fresh herbs like parsley or basil. Thus, each dish will have a unique personality, and you will be able to impress your guests with a delicious dish that will surely become a favorite. Enjoy your meal!
