Leigh-Maries's Floured Chicken

Cooks for 2 people

Ingredients

·                      8 oz boneless chicken breast

·                      1 cup flour

·                      1 egg

·                      2 tbsp garlic powder

·                      Dash of milk

·                      1 tsp paprika

·                      1 ½ tsp italian seasoning

·                      Red cooking wine

·                      Mirin (sweet rice cooking wine)

·                      1/2 tablespoon minced garlic

Directions

1)    Begin by mixing the flour, garlic powder, paprika, and Italian seasoning into a small sized bowl.

2)    Use another bowl and mix the egg and add a dash of milk.

3)    Before flouring the chicken, pound chicken once on each side with a meat pounder.

4)    Dip chicken into egg mixture, then dip into the flour mixture.

5)    Before cooking the chicken, warm up a frying pan with the olive oil and minced garlic.

6)    Frying, this is the part where you can get creative. First put about 1 tbsp of olive oil with the minced garlic in the pan and let it heat up. Then place the chicken in the pan. We added red cooking wine, mirin and lemon juice, along with continually adding more olive oil when it dries up. If you want more of a sweet taste, add a good amount of mirin, and if you want more of a tangy taste add more lemon juice. Only about a half teaspoon of lemon juice was added to ours.  

7) Cook until golden brown. The nom nom away!
