It's so easy to do, just make your chicken fillets thinner by bashing them between two sheets of cling film or greaseproof paper so it's nice and thin.

See, how to crumb chicken in my Chicken Parmesan recipe. Panko crumbs are so nice and crispy - you can buy Panko crumbs (Japanese breadcrumbs) from any good supermarket.

Why make the chicken thinner?

Because it will cook a lot quicker without drying out.

Crispy Chicken with Blue Cheese and Bacon.

Crispy crunchy chicken topped with blue cheese and BACON!

Prep time: 10 MinCook time: 8 MinTotal time: 18 Min

Ingredients

• 2 x chicken breast fillets
• 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil for frying
• 4 rashers of smoked back bacon - cooked until crispy
• a big handful of plain (all purpose) flour
• 1 large egg - lightly beaten
• a big handful of panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
• 2 thick slices of blue cheese - I used Dolcelatte as it melts easily

Instructions

Prepare the chicken

1. Put the chicken fillets between two sheets of cling film and bash gently until it's nice and thin.
2. First of all, be sure to season the flour and the crumbs with a little salt and pepper or the chicken will taste bland.
3. Fry the smoked back bacon until it's nice and crisp then set aside.

To crumb the chicken

1. Get plates or bowls in a row.
2. Put the seasoned flour onto plate 1
3. Tip the lightly beaten egg onto plate 2
4. Add the panko onto plate 3 and season it with salt and pepper.
5. Put the prepared chicken fillet first in the flour, then the egg, followed by the crumbs.

To cook

1. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a frying pan and fry each crumbed fillet for a couple of minutes on each side until cooked through and golden.
2. Just before they are done, top them with sliced blue cheese. Put the cooked bacon on the side of the chicken to heat through. Once hot add the bacon to the chicken and cheese.
3. Serve straight away with skinny chips and a side salad.
