    How to fry chicken breast chops in a frying pan? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. In this way, I cooked chicken chops for the first time. I read the recipe found on the Internet and at first I was skeptical about it, I was not sure that the dish would be successful. I ventured to cook and was pleasantly surprised. However, it turns out very tasty, juicy and tender meat with a pleasant aroma and a minimum of fat.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Cut the chicken breast into thin plates, the size of the fillet can be made at your discretion: the entire length of the breast or cut into halves. Beat off the meat with a kitchen hammer on both sides.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Rub the chicken fillet with salt and spice mixture and leave for 15 minutes at room temperature to marinate. Spices can be used any to taste or use a ready-made set of seasonings for chicken. I added a pinch of this seasoning.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Cut the parchment into squares taking into account the size of the chicken fillet so that the paper is twice as large as a piece of meat and with a small margin, if you want the fat from the meat during frying does not flow to the bottom of the pan.

  5. Step 5:

    Step 5.

    Put the chicken fillet on one half of the square of parchment, cover it tightly on top with another part of the parchment and send it to a well-heated dry frying pan. I was afraid that the chicken fillet would stick to the parchment during frying and then it would be difficult to separate it from the paper, and smeared it with vegetable oil. But, probably, this can not be done, chicken meat releases a large amount of juice during frying, which does not allow the meat to burn to the parchment.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    Reduce the heat to medium so that the meat does not burn and fry the chops, literally, for 5-7 minutes on each side until a blush forms, which is clearly visible through the parchment, and if desired, it can be bent and check the readiness of the meat with a sharp knife tip, the juice released should be transparent. Remove the chicken chops from the pan and serve immediately to the table with a side dish to taste or as an independent meat dish. Enjoy your meal!

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper).
