Note:

Chicken is common in culinary preparations around the world. Studies on the origin of food indicate that the first domesticated hens and chickens came from India over 4,000 years ago. However, the widespread consumption of these birds occurred during the 20th century. It became a staple in diets due to its high protein content and low fat presence. The recipe for Chicken Strips is consumed nearly everywhere on the planet. Each culture prepares it with its own unique flavors and spices. Some food production companies have made significant profits from this and other chicken dishes. This time, we present our way of preparing it with a very Cuban flavor. I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

1 chicken breast
¼ teaspoon of garlic powder
¼ teaspoon of cumin
¼ teaspoon of oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
½ cup of wheat flour
1 egg
½ cup of breadcrumbs
1 cup of frying oil

Instructions:

Cut the chicken breast into strips. Try to make them of similar thickness and size. Season with salt and pepper and add the rest of the spices, making sure there is a balance. Mix well and let it rest for 1 hour in the refrigerator.

In a bag, place the wheat flour and add the chicken strips. Shake it so the flour sticks to the pieces of meat.

Remove the excess flour and dip the floured chicken strips in the beaten egg. Then, repeat the process in the bag, but this time with breadcrumbs.

Save the breaded chicken strips and discard the leftover flour and breadcrumbs.

In a pot, heat the oil over high heat. Fry the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown. Drain it on paper towels and serve hot.
