This recipe tastes wonderful and can be made as a main meal and served with a side salad or you could make small chicken bites for a buffet style meal or for parties. It can be made using whole breasts beaten with a meat mallet or like I did chopped into tender size pieces. I serve these with a homemade garlic mayonnaise as a dip on the side, I use about 1/2 a cup of mayo with a teaspoon of garlic powder a couple of teaspoons of lemon juice and some grated lemon rind and it goes quite well with the chicken. Apart from the marinating time you can have these ready in about 35 Min’s. I served this for three people but just do an extra breast for four the marinade will still be enough for the extra breast.

Ingredients

3 Chicken breasts, chopped into pieces
1/2 Cup sour cream
2 Teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 Teaspoons Lemon juice
1 Teaspoon lemon rind
1 Tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tablespoons oil
1 Tablespoon butter
11/2 Cups panko flakes (depending on how big your beasts are it will be 1-11/2 Cups required.)

Method

1. Combine sour cream, sauce, juice, rind, parsley, chives, garlic in a bowl or storage container, add chicken and toss to coat chicken completely, cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.

2. Remove chicken pieces from marinade and dip each coated piece of chicken in panko flakes, press flake into chicken to coat thoroughly.

3. Melt butter in a pan, add oil and heat until hot but not smoking, add pieces of chicken and cook in a single layer, until browned, crisp and cooked through.

To Serve: Serve chicken with garlic mayonnaise and a side salad.
