Ingredients

\2 chicken breast, large
\1 cup of flour
\1 rounded teaspoon of Cajun seasoning
\2 free range eggs, lightly whisked
\3 cups of panko breadcrumbs
\olive oil, for frying
\½ cup of mayonnaise, good quality
\2 limes, zested
\1 lime, juiced
\sea salt, to garnish
\black pepper, cracked, to garnish

Instructions

  1. Cut each chicken breast through the top into 1cm pieces lengthways and then each slice in half lengthways. This should leave you with the chicken in long thin pieces.
  2. Combine the Cajun seasoning powder and the flour in a wide, shallow bowl. Mix well.
  3. Place the eggs in another bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  4. Line them up next to each other in that order as this is how you’ll be dipping the chicken.
  5. Coat each piece of chicken in the spiced flour, dunk into the eggs and then roll in breadcrumbs. Place on a plate while you repeat the process with the rest of the chicken.
  6. Heat 1 cm of oil in a sauté pan over a medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the chicken. Cook in 2-3 batches (without overcrowding the pan) for approximately 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
  7. Combine the mayonnaise, lime zest and lime juice in a bowl. Season with a little sea salt and cracked black pepper.
  8. Serve the chicken while hot with the lime mayo on the side.
