Ingredients

For Marination

  • 500 grams Boneless Chicken Cubed
  • ½ tsp / 3 g Salt
  • ½ tsp / 1 g Black Pepper
  • 3 tbsp / 23 g All-Purpose Flour

For Cooking

  • 2 tbsp / 30 ml Cooking Oil
  • 2 tbsp / 28 g Butter
  • 6 cloves Garlic Minced
  • ½ tbsp / 4 g All-Purpose Flour
  • ½ cup / 118 ml Chicken Stock
  • 1 tsp Mixed Herbs
  • ½ tsp / 1 g Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp / 15 ml Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Chopped Coriander

Instructions

Prepare The Chicken

  • Grab a mixing bowl and place 500 grams of boneless chicken pieces into it.
  • Season the chicken pieces with ½ tsp of salt and ½ tsp of black pepper.
  • Mix the chicken pieces with the seasonings thoroughly using a spoon.
  • Add 3 tbsp of all-purpose flour to the bowl and mix again to coat the chicken pieces well.

Fry The Chicken

  • Take a frying pan and put it on the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Pour 2 tbsp of cooking oil into the pan.
  • Using tongs, carefully place the seasoned chicken pieces into the hot oil. Make sure to leave some space between each piece to allow them to cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken pieces for 5-6 minutes on one side, until the bottom is golden brown and flip them when one side is done.
  • Once both sides are golden brown and crispy, remove the chicken from the heat and transfer it to a plate for later use.

Prepare Garlic Butter Sauce

  • In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of butter and let it melt.
  • Toss in 6 cloves of minced garlic to the pan. Stir with a spatula to let the garlic cook with butter.
  • Add ½ tbsp of all-purpose flour to the pan and stir with a spatula to let the flour dissolve into the butter.
  • Add ½ cup of chicken stock to the mixture and cook until the sauce thickens.
  • Sprinkle 1 tsp of mixed herbs and ½ tsp of black pepper over the sauce.
  • Add 1 tbsp of lemon juice to the pan and stir to mix all the ingredients.

Combine Chicken With Sauce

  • Add the chicken back to the pan and toss to coat them with the butter sauce.
  • Garnish the dish with 2 tbsp of chopped coriander.
  • Give it a final toss to mix the garnish into the chicken and sauce.
  • Serve hot on a plate and enjoy!
