Hello again anyone who reads this :)
Just threw this together tonight, and it's a perfect recipe for a good tasty tea, as well as a good alternative to those horrid reformed nuggets if you have kids knocking about. These can also be frozen down after cooking and put in the oven to reheat at a later date :)
First, get a nice skinless chicken breast, and slice into goujons, (strips, the size isn't vital, just not too thick or the crumb will be burnt before the chicken is cooked.)
2 breasts will make enough for 3 good size portions.
get a blender or food processor, and put in some stale bread (crusts removed) - I used 4 slices for the 2 breasts. blend it up into a fine crumb, and season with salt, pepper and a good helping of blackened cajun seasoning - the crumb should be flecked, and you will be able to smell a hint of the seasoning - don't go overboard though as some may not like it too spicy.
then grab some plain flour, season (i like to use S&P and smoked paprika) and beat a large egg into a bowl, then coat the goujons in flour, egg and breadcrumbs.
get a non-stick frying pan, heat up a good amount of oil in there, at least 5mm deep, more if you like. get it reasonably hot to prevent the crumb soaking it up. cook the goujons in batches until golden and keep warm on kitchen towel as you do the others. (you can deep fry too if you have a fryer)
serve with either your choice of potatoes (chips are a good match, as are wedges spiced with a bit more cajun spice)
you could, if you're feeling healthier, put some of the goujons in a tortilla with crisp lettuce and a bit of salsa.
Grab some ramekins of mayo and mix one with cajun seasoning for those who like it hotter, and one with a bit of lemon mixed in to cool everything down (set soured cream works too)
Hopefully they will looks as good as, if not better than the ones in the photo, and they should taste just as good. (and yeah, i did burn the kitchen towel on that plate.)
and there you are. easy peasy tea, and tasty as too :D
