Instructions:
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- Slice the chicken fillet into thin, wide pieces. Season both sides with salt and ground black pepper. Let it sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
-
Coat and Fry the Chicken:
- After the resting period, dip each chicken slice into the beaten egg, ensuring it is well-coated. Then, dredge it in the fried chicken flour, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.
- Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken slices until golden brown and crispy, approximately 10 minutes. Remove from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
-
Prepare the Steak Sauce:
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely sliced garlic and onion, sautéing until fragrant and translucent.
- Stir in the all-purpose flour, cooking until the mixture is smooth and slightly golden.
- Gradually pour in the water, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to stir until the mixture is well-combined and starts to thicken.
- Add the sweet soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and coarsely ground black pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning with optional seasoning if desired. Simmer until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- Arrange the crispy chicken fillets on a serving plate or hot plate. Garnish with French fries and your choice of boiled vegetables or a mixed vegetable medley.
- Generously pour the steak sauce over the chicken and vegetables.
- Serve immediately while hot.
