Crispy Oat-Crusted Chicken Fillets
Ingredients:
- 1/2 kg chicken fillets, thinly sliced
- Quaker red oat (or any preferred oat brand)
- Marinade: salt, pepper, and minced garlic
- 1 egg
Instructions:
-
Marinate the Chicken: Begin by marinating the thinly sliced chicken fillets in a mixture of salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Allow the chicken to soak in the marinade for at least 30 minutes. Be sure to drain any excess water from the fillets before proceeding.
-
Prepare the Oat Coating: Place the oats in a shallow dish.
-
Coat the Chicken: Crack the egg into a separate bowl and beat it lightly. Dip each marinated chicken fillet into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dredge the egg-coated chicken fillets in the oats, pressing gently to ensure the oats adhere well to the surface of the chicken.
-
Cook the Chicken: Heat a frying pan over medium heat with a little oil. Fry the oat-coated chicken fillets until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
-
Serve: Remove the chicken from the pan and drain on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve hot as a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken.
Enjoy this crispy and nutritious twist on a classic favorite!
