Chicken Cutlet, Couscous & Green Beans

recipe

• Step 1
  Boil a pot of salted water. Wash & snap off the ends of the green beans if necessary.
• Step 2
  Add the green beans to salted, boiling water & cook for 10-12 min. If you are using frozen green beans, cook them for 2-3 min. Once cooked, drain the beans.
• Step 3
  In a shallow bowl or plate, add the egg, a pinch of salt & pepper. Beat the eggs with a fork or whisk.
• Step 4
  On another dish add flour. Coat the chicken in flour & then egg.
• Step 5
  Add the breadcrumbs to a third plate & coat the chicken in breadcrumbs. For a thicker crust, coat it a second time in the beaten egg mixture, the once more in breadcrumbs.
• Step 6
  Heat about a 1/4 cup of oil in a medium pan. The oil should reach about 1/2 way up the chicken, once it's added. Test the oil temperature by throwing in a bit of the breadcrumbs. If they immediately bubble up, carefully add the chicken.
• Step 7
  Pan-fry the chicken over medium heat until nicely browned on the first side, about 4 min. Flip the chicken over and let it brown for 4 more min on the other side.
• Step 8
  Meanwhile, boil a pot of water. In a medium bowl, mix the dry couscous with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Then pour over the boiling water (equal volume water : couscous) Cover the bowl & let the couscous rest for 5 min. Uncover, mix well & set aside.
• Step 9
  Once browned, transfer the fried chicken to a paper towel lined plate or cutting board.
• Step 10
  Slice the chicken.
• Step 11
  Serve the breaded chicken over couscous & green beans. Re-season according to your taste & add some fresh herbs, if you have. Enjoy!
