Everyone loves crispy chicken but breading and deep frying are a bit of a faff. This version uses a flour coating and a frying pan, to get a result that's just as tasty with a fraction of the fuss. It's healthier too! The secret is to let the pan get really hot before you cook the chicken. Enjoy!

Cooking Instructions and Tips

Cook the Potato
1

Pre-heat your oven to 220°C. Chop the potato into wedges the size and width of your index finger (no need to peel). Grate the cheddar cheese. Pop the wedges on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle over some oil, a pinch of salt and half the thyme. Put on the top shelf of your oven. Roast for 30-35 mins. After 25-30 mins, turn the wedges and sprinkle over the cheese. Roast for the remaining 5 mins.

Prep the Salad
2

Trim the ends from the cucumber, quarter lengthways then chop widthways into small pieces. Zest the lime and put the zest to the side, then squeeze the lime juice into a mixing bowl and add the honey and olive oil (see ingredients for amount). Mix together and set aside. This is the salad dressing! TIP: Don't dress the salad until just before serving or it will wilt.

Bash the Chicken
3

Meanwhile, lay one of the chicken breasts between two sheets of clingfilm and bash with either a rolling pin or frying pan until 2cm thick. Repeat for all breasts. Cut each of the flattened breasts into six or seven long strips.

Coat the Chicken
4

Put a glug of oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Let it get really hot. In the meantime, put the flour in another mixing bowl with the lime zest, paprika and remaining dried thyme. Season with a really good pinch of salt and pepper. Mix together then add the chicken strips. Toss with your hands to ensure the chicken is well coated in the seasoned flour. IMPORTANT: Remember to wash your hands and equipment after handling raw meat.

Cook the Chicken
5

Once the oil is hot, add half the chicken to the pan. Cook until golden all over, 3-4 mins on each side. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when it is no longer pink in the middle. Transfer to a baking tray covered in kitchen paper and cover loosely with foil. Repeat with the remaining chicken. Once cooked, sprinkle over some salt. TIP: Cooking the chicken in batches helps prevent overcrowding and makes for tastier, golden chicken!

Finish and Serve
6

Warm the chicken dippers through in your oven for a few mins if necessary. Add the cucumber and salad leaves to the bowl of dressing and toss to combine. Serve the chicken dippers with a dollop of ketchup, some cheesy wedges and some zesty salad. Enjoy!
