  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make chicken breast in batter in a frying pan? Prepare all the necessary products. If you do not take fillets, then remove the skin and bones from the breast. It is preferable, of course, to use ready-made chicken breast fillet and not frozen, but chilled. If the breast is too thick, cut it in half lengthwise, otherwise it may not be fried. Any vegetable oil will do, but in order for it not to burn, it must be refined.

    Step 2.

    Beat the egg into a bowl, combine with milk. Instead of milk, you can take any liquid dairy product, because we use it to make batter. It can be kefir, yogurt, and even water, even carbonated. Mix everything with a fork, adding a little salt.

    Step 3.

    Sift the flour. It is necessary to sift, - so the batter will turn out to be more airy. As for flour, it can also be different, and depending on this, the taste of the finished dish will be different. Flour can be rice, buckwheat, and oatmeal.

    Step 7.

    Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan with a thick bottom. Once again, I note that the oil can be anything: ordinary sunflower, corn, and olive. In a well-heated oil, carefully put the breast in the batter. Most likely there will be splashes, so immediately turn down the fire a little. Fry for about 7 minutes.

  8. Step 8:

    Step 8.

    Gently turn the fried breast over and bring it to readiness on the other side, too, for about 7 minutes. Look at what thickness of breast you have, so it is possible to repeat roasting for another 5 minutes on each side. The batter turns out very crispy, and the meat is tender and juicy.

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 .

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.

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
