The success of this dish is owing to two women, my grandma and my mother-in-law, Peta.
My grandma often made these chicken stripes to my father. The most amasing thing in this recipe for me is that from only a small chicken breast you can make plenty of the soft battered pieces. Light and tender, ideal for lunch. You can have it with chili and sour cream or with my mother-in-law”s award winning mayo! She learnt the recipe from her mother and was kind enough to share with me and you.
You can make smaller amount of mayo if you want but the proportion works better that way and I promise that soon you will get to the bottom of the jar.
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts
200 g flour
2 eggs
1 teaspoon ground coriander seeds
1/2 cup chopped parsley
2 cloves of garlic
100 ml milk
150-200 ml beer
salt, pepper
