Chicken Fillet in Batter

Chicken fillet in batter is a good recipe to have on hand when you want a filling dinner without any marinating time or extra fuss. Thin slices of chicken breast get dipped in a light egg-and-flour batter and pan-fried until golden, while staying tender and juicy inside — the batter acts as a protective coating that keeps the meat from drying out over high heat.

The key rule for this dish is not cutting the fillet too thick and giving it a light pound before cooking. That way the chicken cooks through evenly and quickly, and the batter has time to set into a crust without burning before the center is done. If the pieces come out uneven in thickness, it’s better to fix that with a meat mallet ahead of time rather than extending the cooking time, which risks scorching the batter before the inside catches up.
