🍗 Crispy Chicken Fillet Recipe

⭐ Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs if you prefer)

1 cup buttermilk (or 1 cup milk + 1 Tbsp lemon juice)

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon paprika (optional)

1 cup all-purpose flour

½ cup cornstarch (makes it extra crispy)

1 teaspoon baking powder

2 eggs, beaten

Vegetable oil (for frying)

🔪 Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

If the fillets are thick, pound them gently to about ½ inch thickness for even cooking.

Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Place in a bowl and pour over the buttermilk. Marinate at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight in the fridge).

Prepare the Coating

In a shallow dish, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

In another dish, beat the eggs.

Bread the Chicken

Remove each piece from the marinade, let excess drip off.

Dredge in flour mixture, pressing lightly.

Dip into the beaten eggs.

Return to the flour mixture and coat well again for extra crunch.

Fry

Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat (around 350°F / 175°C).

Fry chicken fillets 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).

Place on a wire rack or paper towel to drain.

Serve

Enjoy hot with fries, coleslaw, buns, or a dipping sauce of your choice.

✅ Tips for Extra Crispy Fillet:

Double-dipping in flour + egg makes it crunchier.

Adding cornstarch helps keep the crust light.

Don’t overcrowd the pan to keep oil temperature steady.

Made this Creamy Garlic Parmesan Chicken with Cheesy Twisted Pasta last night and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce was rich and velvety, the chicken perfectly tender, and the cheesy pasta brought everything together in the best way. Total hit at dinner!

Ingredients:

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced into thin strips
12 oz twisted pasta (such as rotini or fusilli)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp butter (divided)
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
Salt and black pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup cream cheese (for extra creaminess)
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside, saving a little pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Let the sauce simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until it starts to thicken.
Add the Parmesan, cream cheese, and mozzarella. Stir until everything melts into a creamy, cheesy sauce. Use a splash of pasta water to thin if needed.
Add the cooked chicken and pasta to the skillet and toss everything together until well coated. Let it simmer for 2 to 3 more minutes.
