Crowd Pleaser Garlic Chicken

 Serves 4

Ingredients
4 Chicken breasts
Flour
Eggwash
Breadcrumbs (Tip - if you make too many freeze for later use)
Butter & Creme Fraiche
Garlic - to taste! (3 cloves min) Finely chopped
Lemon for garnish 
Method:

1. Put chicken breast in freezer bag and taking a rolling pin flatten breast to make an escalope by gently hitting it. (This is also great for removing stress!) If you are too rough you will damage the meat.
   
2. Repeat with the 3 other breasts.
   
3. Dip each breast in the seasoned flour, followed by the eggwash and finally the breadcrumbs. I find doing this ahead of time and leaving the breasts in the fridge helps the breadcrumbs to stick when frying so great do do before work and come home to a "ready meal".
4. Melt half the butter and fry half the chopped garlic until it just starts to caramelise. Leave to infuse.
5. Melt the rest of the butter and cook the chicken breasts in a hot pan until they are golden brown on both sides. Then keep warm in the oven.
6. Finish the garlic sauce by adding the rest of the garlic, more butter if necessary and some creme fraiche. Don't worry if the sauce looks curdled at first - keep stirring and it will come right.
7. Serve with a slice of lemon to garnish.

Little cubed fried potatoes work really well with this dish.
For variation add parsley to the breadcrumbs.

Bon Appétit!
