Preparation Method

Preparing the Chicken

1. Defrost the Juicy Seara Breast Fillet according to the package instructions. This will ensure that the chicken is well seasoned and ready to be breaded, while maintaining its juiciness during cooking.
2. In a big bowl, add the flour and mix in the lemon zest, garlic powder, cumin powder, salt and black pepper. This seasoning mix will give an amazing flavor base for the crispy chicken.
3. Transfer the flour mixture to a shallow dish. and set aside. This will be the first step in the breading process, ensuring that the chicken has a tasty and crispy coating.
4. In other deep dish, beat the egg with the water until it forms a homogeneous mixture. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. This liquid will serve as “glue” for the chicken breading, helping the flour and corn flakes to stick.
5. In a separate bowl, add the unsweetened cornflakes and break them up lightly, just enough to form slightly smaller pieces. This texture will help create a crispy, flavorful crust.
6. Preheat the Airfryer to 180°C to ensure the chicken cooks evenly and reaches the perfect crispiness.

Breading the Chicken

1. Coat each chicken fillet in the flour mixture., covering it well on all sides. Make sure the chicken is well breaded, but without excess flour.
2. Right away, dip the fillet in the beaten egg mixture, ensuring that the liquid covers the entire chicken fillet, so that the cornflake layer adheres well.
3. Coat the breaded fillet in corn flakes, pressing lightly to ensure they stick well to the meat, creating a crispy, golden crust.
4. Place the breaded fillets in the Airfryer basket, being careful not to overlap, which can interfere with the crispiness. Lightly brush the chicken with olive oil to help it brown.
5. Bake the fillets for 12 minutes, turning them halfway through so that they brown and crisp evenly. The Airfryer ensures a crispy texture without the need for excessive oil, making the dish lighter.

Preparing the Sweet and Sour Sauce

While the chicken is roasting, it’s time to prepare the delicious sweet and sour sauce that will accompany the dish. This sauce is the perfect combination of the salty soy sauce and the sweetness of the molasses, creating a unique flavor experience.

1. In a frying pan, add the chopped garlic and sauté for a few seconds until it starts to release its aroma, being careful not to let it burn.
2. Add the soy sauce and molasses to the pan., stirring well to combine the ingredients and form the base of the sauce. The molasses adds the touch of sweetness needed to balance the saltiness of the soy sauce.
3. Dissolve the cornstarch in cold water and add to the mixture in the pan. The starch will help give the sauce its thick texture.
4. Place the frying pan over low heat., stirring constantly so that the sauce does not stick to the bottom and thickens evenly. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.
5. Turn off the heat and set the sauce aside, allowing it to cool slightly before using it on the crispy chicken.

Finalization

Now that the chicken is crispy and the sauce is ready, it's time to bring these two delicious elements together to form the final dish.

1. Remove the chicken fillets from the Airfryer and coat them in the sweet and sour sauce on both sides, ensuring that the flavor is completely absorbed by the crispy crust.
2. Serve immediately., sprinkling sliced chives over the chicken to give a fresh and colorful touch to the dish.
3. Serve with basmati rice and a cucumber salad, which brings a refreshing and light contrast, perfectly completing the main dish.

THE Crispy Sweet and Sour Chicken Breast It's a simple recipe, but full of flavor, that combines the crunchiness of the chicken with the smoothness of the sweet and sour sauce. Ideal for those who want a quick, delicious and different meal, it will please everyone at the table!
