How to cook chicken fillet in a pan. How to cook chicken fillet in a pan is very tasty. Chicken breast nuggets


How to fry chicken breasts so that they are tender and fragrant, and not dry? Very tender, juicy and tasty breast meat. Roasts quickly.

  • Chicken breast - 1 pc.;
  • Lemon - 0.5 pcs.;
  • Salt;
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  1. separate the meat from the bone. Cut into portioned pieces (you get 4 pieces, can be smaller). If the thickness of the pieces exceeds 2-2.5 cm - cut them lengthwise into flatter ones. It is important to cut the pieces across the fibers. The fibers in the breast are in different directions - so be careful, watch how the muscles go and cut them so that it does not turn out that the piece consists of long threads that are difficult to chew;
  2. sprinkle the breast meat with lemon juice (do not squeeze), salt. Let stand for 5-10 minutes;
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan (a layer of 1 cm, approximately). Quickly fry the breasts over medium heat - as soon as browned on one side, turn over to the other side and fry again until browned;
  4. check readiness - lightly press a piece of meat with a spatula - if it does not bleed - it's ready.

Dear friends, please note that chicken breasts are fried very quickly, 3-4 minutes (maximum 5) on each side.
Of course, the frying time may depend on the number of breasts in the pan, their thickness, and the intensity of the fire. Focus on a pleasant browning of chicken meat (frying until brown and charring is completely useless: it will dry out - you won’t bite)).

Why you need lemon juice when frying breast

Lemon juice saturates the breasts and, when combined with hot oil, forms a viscous veil - a protective layer on the surface of the meat, which prevents the chicken juices from flowing out. Therefore, the breast is very tender, soft and juicy, with a joyful, fresh aroma. For the first time, I tried this cooking option for chicken breasts in Greece. And I was amazed by their taste - if I didn’t know what I ordered, I would never have guessed that this is delicious, juicy meat - our traditionally dried chicken breast (white, tasteless chicken meat). Just stunned by surprise.

Then she ate fried breasts in Cyprus - just as amazingly juicy and tasty. Only over time it dawned on me that it was about lemon juice, which the inhabitants of southern countries use in almost all dishes: both to soften and add juiciness to meat, and to acidify and saturate salads with fresh notes, and in desserts, and for seafood sauce, and for kebabs, which, at first, are very salty, but after pouring - deliciously delicious, correct.

  • 1 chicken breast

  • ground coriander,
  • salt,
  • a little chicken fat and vegetable oil.

Bring the brisket to room temperature beforehand. If the chicken is frozen, first defrost in the refrigerator, then on the table. Rinse, dry with paper towel. We take out the bone from the breast, separating the fillet from it with a sharp knife.

We cut the chicken fillet lengthwise so that the thickness of the piece does not exceed 2 cm. Generously rub the breasts with spices mixed with a couple of drops of vegetable oil. Salt quite a bit.

We warm up a thick-walled frying pan well, melt a little chicken fat on it, take out the cracklings. Leave the pan on a fairly high heat.

Place each piece of breast into the skillet. Do not stack the fillets on top of each other, only side by side, and preferably not tightly.

We do not cover with a lid, only with a spray divider. We do not put out the fire. So everything sizzles and fries for about 5 minutes. When the edges of the chicken fillet turn white on top, you can turn it over. Fry the same amount of time on the other side. If necessary, then turn to the side that did not touch the pan and turn off the heat. Even after that, do not cover with a lid, do not remove from the pan until it cools down a bit, in the meantime, you can do the side dish or sauce.

Fried fillet is a culinary classic, it is not only very tasty, it is also very easy to eat, the fillet always turns out soft, tender, in a crispy breading. It goes well with any side dish, salad. In order to pamper yourself with such a delicious dish, you need to know how to fry the fillet. This process is quite simple if you smoked a finished fillet. And a little more difficult is the preparation of the fillet, which must first be separated from the bones.

Chicken fillet

Fried chicken fillet is the most popular dish. And it's very easy to cook. If you bought a breast, and not a finished fillet, then frying the chicken fillet begins with separating it from the sternum bone. Take a sharp knife, make cuts along the costal bones from the inside. Then it is necessary to separate the meat to the cartilage exactly along the sternum bone. On each side of the breast, you will separate one fillet, that is, you get two. Next, add a little salt, pepper, leave in a cup to marinate. Now we need to prepare the lezon and breading. Beat the egg, adding a teaspoon of water, salt, a tablespoon of flour. Mix everything thoroughly. For breading, take ground crackers with spices. Chicken fillet must first be dipped in breadcrumbs, press the breading firmly, then dip in the seasoning, and again in breadcrumbs. Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan, lay the fillet. When deciding how long to fry the fillet, keep in mind that 7-8 minutes on each side is enough. The fillet cooks very quickly, and if it is overcooked, it will be tough.

What can be done with fried fillet

Of course, after frying, you can start eating chicken fillet. How much to fry it for other dishes, you can understand if you add up all the cooking time. It should not exceed 20-25 minutes. If you quickly fried the fillet for 4-5 minutes on each side, then you can start cooking the fried fillet under a fur coat. Lay the fried fillet on a baking sheet, put a thin slice of tomato, pickled onion on top, pour over with mayonnaise, sprinkle generously with grated hard cheese on top. Then put in the oven for 20 minutes on medium heat. If you have not yet decided how to fry chicken fillet, then use this recipe. You will surprise all your family, arrange a real holiday of taste!

Fish fillet frying

If the hostess does not know how to fry fish fillets, then it is best to do the same as with chicken. Only to separate it from the bones is much more difficult. Cut off the head of the fish, gut it, rinse it. Make cuts in the middle along the fins - from the top to the tail. Remove the fins. Without removing the skin, separate the fish from the vertebral bone, from the ribs. Fillet is ready! Now cut it into portions. Breading for fish is done in the same way, but it will be tastier if you add finely grated hard cheese to crackers. Dip the fillet in the breading, then in the seasoning, then again in the breading. And you can fry over low heat, 5-7 minutes on each side. Serving such a fish is best with vegetables, it will be a very tasty and dietary dish.

Frying meat fillet

Meat fillet (beef, pork) is most often fried, and then brought to readiness. The fillet is cut into thin layers, no more than 1 cm thick. Then you need to take a hammer and beat off the pieces on both sides. Salt and pepper. The meat is placed in a hot frying pan with vegetable oil. Fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown without breading. During such frying at high temperatures, the juice remains in the meat, it turns out juicy. Then all the fried pieces are put into a saucepan and poured with a small amount of water. Simmer for 30 minutes over high heat. You can put a “fur coat” on fried chops and stew in the oven.

Tender, juicy, tasty and very light meat!

Chicken fillet fried in a pan for some sounds like a dry and lean piece of chicken, which is hard to swallow! In general, only women turned on their figure can eat this.

I officially declare to you: “It is not so! Have you ever eaten the most tender chicken breast fried in a pan? You just haven’t come across this recipe yet!”

And so, dedicated to all fighters with extra calories and squirrel hunters!

Chicken fillet fried in a pan or how to fry chicken breast until tender, nuances:

  1. Ideally, the fillet should be cut lengthwise into layers so that they are of the same thickness. But I confess that I never aim so perfectly. And then from the bottom of the fillet there are always such thin pieces that will always be thinner and smaller. In this regard, the cooking process is regulated by the fact that they are removed from the pan first. You don't even need to keep them under the lid, they cook so quickly.
  2. Sour cream can be replaced with kefir, but sour cream somehow impresses me more. Of course, two hours for marinating is enough, but it is better to marinate in the morning if you plan to fry in the evening.
  3. Steaming under the lid can be replaced with an oven. Place the breasts in an oven preheated to 180 degrees, after frying in a pan, for 7 minutes. If you plan to use the oven, then you can not cut the breasts into thinner layers before marinating.
  4. VERY IMPORTANT DO NOT OVERDO! If you overdo it in a pan, all your efforts will go to waste. Get dry white meat.
  5. I eat salt, and what's more, I don't like it when food is undersalted. But after marinating in sour cream, there is no need to salt the breast!

I confess that the breast cooked in this way using the oven is very good to use for cooking Caesar with chicken! Try it!

Meat is a source of protein necessary for the "building" and maintenance of muscle mass, health and functioning of all organs of human vital activity without exception. Possessing a mass of useful properties, animal meat has one significant drawback - it is very high in calories. For those who want to control the number of calories consumed and their own weight, eating chicken fillet is an ideal way out. This is the most valuable low-calorie product, which is both dietary and nutritious.

What can be cooked for the second chicken fillet

Delicious stew with potatoes in pots (a traditional Russian recipe), overseas chops with almond breading, feta cheese and rosemary, children's skewers on skewers - such dishes will surprise and delight your loved ones.

How and how much to fry chicken fillet so as not to overdry

With all the advantages, chicken fillet has the only drawback: if it is cooked incorrectly, it becomes tough and dry. When buying, choose chilled light pink breasts. To preserve the juice and preserve the delicate texture of the fibers, it is preferable to cut the meat across the fibers, then during heat treatment in a pan they seem to be sealed, retaining juiciness.

Another way to preserve the delicate taste is to use batter. Cooked without milk or cream, it will reliably preserve the structure of chicken fillet fibers. Pay attention to the frying time in a pan: for pieces no more than a centimeter thick, 2-3 minutes is enough. To cook thicker pieces, increase the frying time to 4-5 minutes, and then simmer them with sour cream, cream or tomato sauce.

Chicken fillet chops in batter

Chicken chops are tasty, tender, if you cut the breast across the fibers with plates no thicker than 1.5 cm. When cutting longitudinally along one half of the fillet, so that the meat is not dryish, hold it in batter for half an hour to an hour. A wonderful side dish for chicken chops will be boiled rice with curry. The taste of the latter goes well with poultry meat, so this dish will be hearty and healthy.

To cook chicken breast in a pan, you will need:

  • chicken fillet - 4 halves (or 2 breasts);
  • salt, spices - to taste;
  • egg - 3-4 pcs.;
  • flour - 2-3 tablespoons;
  • vegetable oil - 3-4 tablespoons.

Handy materials:

  • food film;
  • hammer for chops;
  • container for batter;
  • pan.

Step-by-step recipe on how to cook chicken fillet in batter in a pan:

  1. Rinse the breast halves under running water. Pat dry using a paper towel.
  2. Cut the meat with a sharp knife into narrow plates 1.5-2 cm thick.
  3. Roll out cling film, carefully lay out the pieces and wrap. This is necessary so that in the process of beating the chicken meat retains an integral structure.
  4. Lightly beat off the chicken pieces. Do not overdo it! The fibers of the sirloin are very delicate, so excessive force can cause the juice to flow out, and the finished dish will become dry and tasteless.
  5. Remove the film, salt the chops on each side.
  6. Prepare the batter:
    • Crack the eggs, mixing thoroughly with a whisk.
    • Season with a pinch of salt, black pepper, spices to taste. Whisk again.
    • Add 1 tbsp. l. flour, stirring the mixture. You should prepare a viscous, thick, homogeneous mass without lumps.
  7. Preheat the pan, pour in a tablespoon of refined vegetable oil.
  8. Dip each piece of chicken fillet in batter so that the latter covers the surface of the entire chop, and spread on a preheated pan.
  9. It is recommended to fry no more than 4-5 minutes on each side.
  10. You can check the readiness of the chops by piercing a piece of cooked meat with a toothpick or fork in the thickest place: the flowing liquid (juice) should be a light shade.

If you want to make chicken chops for kids, you can “lengthen” the process a little: after 4 minutes of frying, reduce the heat to very low and cover the pan with a lid to simmer the meat for 2 minutes. So the fillet is well stewed, and you will be calm for the child. The chicken breast prepared in this way will be juicy, tender, but the breadcrumbs will become less crispy.
