This Creative and Easy Chicken Bread Recipe is a delightful and simple dish perfect for beginners. It combines the comforting taste of bread with the savory goodness of chicken, making it an ideal quick lunch, hearty snack, or crowd-pleasing appetizer.
Ingredients
- Chicken Breasts: 2, boneless and skinless
- Bread Slices: 6-8, white or wheat
- Breadcrumbs: 1 cup, seasoned
- Egg: 1, beaten
- Milk: 2 tablespoons
- Salt and Pepper: To taste
- Garlic Powder: 1/2 teaspoon (optional)
- Oil: For frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken until it’s about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using).
- Prepare the Bread Slices and Breading Station: Remove the crusts from the bread slices. In a shallow dish, whisk together the egg and milk. Place the seasoned breadcrumbs in another shallow dish.
- Assemble the Chicken Bread: Place a flattened chicken breast on top of a bread slice. Gently roll the bread and chicken together, tucking in the edges as you go. Dip the rolled chicken bread into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere.
- Cook the Chicken Bread: Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the rolled chicken bread into the hot oil, seam-side down first. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, until the bread is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. Use tongs to flip and monitor the cooking process.
Notes
- For a healthier option, bake the chicken bread in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes.
- Add cheese before rolling for an extra cheesy delight.
- Experiment with different seasonings for the breadcrumbs, such as Italian herbs or paprika.
- Use different types of bread for unique flavors and textures.
