“FRIED” Chicken
For the first time in a while, we had a very slow weekend with plenty of time for me to get in the kitchen and make a mess. What was on the menu? Fried chicken, of course!
I use Simple Mills crackers as the breading which makes it absolutely delicious! I’ll just jump right in and give you the step-by-step:
- Start with a thawed bag of Organic Chicken breasts
- Lay them between two pieces of parchment paper and use a cast iron skillet to press down and flatten the breasts so they are all similar in thickness
- Melt a stick of butter in a bowl
- Crush up 2 boxes of Simple Mills crackers and put them on a plate. I like to use one box of Rosemary and one box of the Sea Salt
- Heat avocado oil over the stovetop on Medium heat in a large skillet. I prefer my Caraway dishes instead of the cast iron skillet for this particular dish.
- In an assembly line, dip a piece of chicken in the butter and then dip it onto the plate to coat the breast with the cracker crumbs.
- I usually like to start with the thickest breast so that they have a bit more time to cook while I am adding the other pieces to the skillet.
- Cook approximately 4-5 minutes and then flip over the breasts.
- Cook another 3 minutes or so and then use a meat thermometer to check the temps. I try to pull them as soon as I hit 165 degrees multiple times in different part of the breast because they will cook a bit more.
This dish is one of my family’s favorites and after having it this last time, we decided we need to have it more often!
Hope you enjoy. Please let me know if you try it and love it as much as we do. Also, share this post with those that might like to try a new way to fry chicken!
