Twistin’ Chicken Recipe

Twistin’ Chicken Recipe

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, or 1 pound chicken tenders
  • Juice from ½ lemon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 cup coarse, dry breadcrumbs (or panko; see Notes)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
  1. Cut the chicken lengthwise into ½-inch-wide strips. Mix together the lemon juice and cornstarch, then mix in the egg whites; set aside.

  3. Heat a sauté pan on medium heat and add the oil. Sauté the chicken strips until golden on both sides.
