Ingredients
- Sift together:
- 2 large boneless chicken breasts
- .....................................
- 1 cup flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
- 1 tbsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp ground thyme
- 1 tsp ground sage
- 1 tbsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
- ...............................................
- Make an egg wash by whisking together:
- 2 eggs
- 4 tbsp water
Preparation
Step 1
1. Place the chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and using a meat mallet, pound the meat to an even 1/2 inch thickness.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dip the meat in the flour and spice mixture. Dip the breast into the eggwash and then again into the flour and spice mix, pressing the mix into the meat to get good contact.
3. Heat a skillet on the stove with about a half inch of oil covering the bottom. You will want to carefully regulate the temperature here so that the chicken does not brown too quickly. The thinness of the breast meat practically guarantees that it will be fully cooked by the time the outside is browned. I find just below medium heat works well. I use a burner setting of about 4 1/2 out of 10 on the dial and fry them gently for about 4 or 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain on a w4. e rack for a couple of minutes before dipping the cooked breasts into the Honey Garlic Sauce. Serve with noodles or rice.

Honey Garlic Sauce:
In a medium saucepan add
2 tbsp olive oil
3 – 4 cloves minced garlic
Cook over medium heat to soften the garlic but do not let it brown.
Add:
1 cup honey
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp ground black pepper
Simmer together for 5-10 minutes, remove from heat and allow to cool for a few minutes. Watch this carefully as it simmers because it can foam up over the pot very easily.
