Country-Fried Chicken with Salad

Step 1

Crack the egg into a small bowl. Season with salt & pepper. Add the chili powder (optional). Whisk it all together.

Step 2

Add the flour, egg & bread crumbs to 3 shallow dishes (each in its own dish!). Thoroughly dredge the chicken in the flour, then in the egg.

Step 3

Dredge the chicken in the bread crumbs.

Step 4

For a thicker breading, dip again in the egg & bread crumbs!

Step 5

Heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat. When the oil glistens, add the chicken. Cook for 3 min.

Step 6

Flip over the chicken. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 5 min, or until cooked through & crispy.

Step 7

Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.

Step 8

Slice the chicken.

Step 9

Arrange the sliced chicken & baby spinach on a serving plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over all. Season the spinach salad with salt, pepper & a drizzle of olive oil. Enjoy!
