As a seasoned home cook who's mastered festive meals on a tight budget, I know the joy of indulgent holiday dishes without breaking the bank. Here's my original recipe for Breaded Chicken with Comté and Cornflakes—delicious for 4 people, totaling under €10.
Want something unique for your Christmas table? This crispy, nutty twist on chicken cutlets delivers flavor and crunch affordably.
1. Prepare the Breading
Start by crumbling the cornflakes and crushing the walnut kernels in a deep plate. Mix in the grated Comté and a pinch of pepper. Your custom breading is ready!
Beat the egg in another plate. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in the egg, then coat thoroughly in the breading mixture.
2. Cook the Cutlets
Heat olive oil and butter in a wide, flat pan over medium-high heat. Sear the breaded cutlets for 2 minutes per side, then reduce to medium heat and cook for 5 minutes on each side. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot and enjoy!
