Chicken Goujons with Lemony Mayo

I made these chicken goujons over the weekend. Its a simple recipe, a great favourite among kids and even adults as well.

It doesn’t take anytime at all for preparing but the taste is absolutely incredible and wonderfully versatile.

I saw this recipe www.bbcgoodfood.com in a special edition which is cooking with kids and I adapted to my taste.

I like this recipe for its simplicity really. Whenever we have Noel’s friends home I do try to make different kids favourites as you know how fussy can kids get if they have to have the same things over and over again.

This weekend was strangely a quiet one, I made these just for us when we needed some change from my usual indian cooking.

Noel couldn’t stop snacking on them as they were very succulent and tasty.Lemony Mayo is my tinge to the original recipe which tasted so well with these goujons.

Here is the recipe:

2 Free-range chicken breasts

4 tbsps Flour

2 Free-range eggs, beaten

2 tbsp of oil

100gms breadcrumbs, u can use dried ones or fresh ones. I used the dry one.

How to make:

Pre heat the oven to 200degrees centigrade.

Take 3 bowls and put flour, breadcrumbs and eggs in them. Slice the chicken into thin strips and season with little salt.

Dip one strip at a time first a good coating of flour then eggs and then breadcrumbs. See that they are properly coated.

Take a non stick roasting tin and put 2 tbsps of sunflower oil and place these strips .

Pop in the oven for 20 min or more till they brown.

I liked this version of not deep frying as i used only 2 tbsp of oil and they were very healthy n tasty. We had tomato ketchup and Lemony mayo dips along with garlic bread. A very simple meal indeed.
