Homemade Breaded Chicken

Add some veg, maybe boiled carrot and mash potato to make into a healthy evening meal!

Serves: 1 person
Cooking time: 25 minutes
Cooking temp: 220 degrees C/ Fan 200 degree C/ Gas 7
Keeps for: Fridge for 3 days, or prepare but do not cook and freeze for 3 months.
Average cost: £1.51 (if you don't put the herbs or cheese in the breadcrumbs then it will be even cheaper.)

Ingredients:

• 40 grams of white bread, roughly one slice of bread (gluten free if you need it)
• 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs (if you want)
• Pinch of salt and pepper
• 5 grams of parmesan
• 1 tablespoon of natural yoghurt 
• 1 tablespoon of plain flour (gluten free if you need it)
• 1 chicken fillet/breast (you will likely have to buy a pack of 2 or 4, but you can just freeze them for 3 months.) 

You might be able to see I have used gluten free flour and bread, as I am gluten free.

What you need:

• Toaster (if you don't have then toast the bread on a tray in the oven)
• Knife
• Tablespoon
• Food processor or the zuzzzerrr thing I use or your hands
• Bowl
• 3 plates
• Cheese grater
• Baking parchment or grease proof paper 
• Baking Tray

How to make it:

1. Turn oven on and up to 220 degrees C/ Fan 200 degree C/ Gas 7.
2. First you need to toast the bread until golden brown. If you use an oven to do this cut some baking parchment to fix a tray, place the bread on the tray and put in oven, cook until golden brown.
3. Once the bread is toast, leave it to cool then cut off the crusts, but don't throw them away! Follow this link to make them into croutons to put in soup or salads. http://uni-yums.blogspot.co.uk/2013/06/croutons.html
   
4. Tear the toast into large pieces and put into the food processor/bowl and zuzz/ make bread crumb using your hands. 
   
5. Add into the bowl containing the bread crumbs, 1 tablespoon of mixed herbs, and pinch of salt and pepper and grated parmesan. Mix together.
   
   
   
6. Place the breadcrumb mix onto a plate.
7. Spoon 1 tablespoon of natural yoghurt into a plate.
8. Measure out 1 tablespoon of plain flour onto another plate.
   
9. Take the baking tray and cut baking parchment to fix and place on baking tray if you haven't already done so. And oil the baking parchment.
10. Take the chicken fillet and lightly coat in flour.
    
11. Now cover the chicken evenly in the natural yoghurt.
    
12. Then place on the plate with bread crumbs and cover the fillet. 
13. Place the chicken fillet on the baking tray. 
    
14. Cook for 25 minutes.
15. ENJOY!

After eating this I found it way to herby, in the future I will not be putting the herbs in to the breadcrumb mix. Other than that it was delicious :D
