The oil and temperature are the two things that made more of a difference in the result of the breading being like chick-fil-a. Any Chick-fil-a recipe that involves frying, will require peanut oil. Also, the other key component is the oil temperature (being hot enough at the start of frying and maintaining that temperature) and specifically using peanut oil to fry the chicken in. I’ve made it several times now and I think the key is the powdered sugar, saltines, and flour mixture seasoned well with msg, salt, and pepper (I like white pepper better, but use less of it because it’s stronger than black pepper). That’s if you want to do it as close to the recipe, but don’t have any pickle juice? I’ve made it without any pickle juice or vinegar in the buttermilk and it was still good. You can always just do seasoning in the buttermilk (salt, pepper, and msg are the bare minimum, but I have added onion & garlic powder to the buttermilk and flour mix in different variations.) You can use little bit of white vinegar in exchange for the pickle juice. They can’t protect chicken and help keep it juicy if they aren’t there! Also, if your cutlets are really thin, then, with a good and hot grill, you will only need a minute or maybe a titch more on the second side.Yes! They did, but you have to add msg (typically sold as “Accent” seasoning) in exchange for half of the salt, add pulverized saltine crackers to the flour mix (half pack for this recipe and scale back on added salt since these have salt on them), and you can skip the pickle juice if you don’t have it (I’ve used it and it doesn’t seem to make a huge difference). I’ve done it with fresh and they can get soggy and slip off the chicken as you’re cooking, which defeats the purpose of the bread crumbs. One note: I do find that dry bread crumbs work better in this recipe than fresh. Or, if I’m throwing carbs to the wind, a crusty bread is great for soaking up the salad dressing. Even with heating up the grill, the breaded chicken takes mere minutes to cook through, so in 20 minutes you can have dinner ready! If I’m keeping my carbs low, I like to add some simple steamed broccoli or green beans along side. I couldn’t do it, but I did love having a garlicy tomato salad with chicken breast and have kept that idea over the years.Īll together, salad and chicken, this recipe is one of my 20 minute meals. ![]() I will admit I never made the recipe exactly to the cookbook. (Not grilled though, shallow fried!) I also remember that the tomato salad had an incredible, amazing, huge amount of olive oil. The New Basics was part of the wave of bringing fresh and diverse foods to the American palette.Īnyway, they served a tomato salad with breaded chicken. It’s hard to think back to those dark times when all tomatoes came wrapped in cellophane and there were three types of cheese in the cheese case. I have no doubt any number of recipes I make have a little germ of an idea from it, even if I usually don’t remember exactly where I got that idea. This is a cookbook which formed the basis of a lot of my cooking, and was the one I turned to first for many years. I do remember, however, where I saw my inspiration for the salad. Because a juicy, simple grilled chicken breast recipe? That was something I needed and didn’t have in my life. Once I knew that, I knew also I needed to try grilled breaded chicken. It turns out all you need is a very simple and light breading along with a very thin piece of meat. □ Before I saw that recipe it hadn’t occurred to me that you could bread meat and grill it and not burn it or have the breading fall off into the grates of the grill. It was years ago that I saw a recipe for grilled breaded pork chops. But this grilled breaded chicken breast? This is exactly what I want. They helped, but it was never quite what I wanted. I had tried all sorts of marinades and brines and tricks. Until I made this recipe, I didn’t think that juicy boneless chicken breasts on the grill were possible.
