Citrus Chicken Ingredients
Method
Cooking Directions
Prepare the Chicken
Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and coat with breadcrumbs.
Fry the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Make the Lemon Sauce
In a small saucepan, combine lemon juice, honey, and minced garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and let it reduce for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
Prepare the Cabbage Bed
Place the shredded cabbage on plates as a bed for the chicken.
Assemble the Dish
Place the fried chicken breasts on the bed of cabbage, drizzle with the lemon sauce, and garnish with chopped parsley.
