recipe tip
Chicken can be prepared the day before, covered with plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator until ready to cook. Buy chicken fillets from a specialty chicken shop to ensure quality and uniformity in size. Preferably request each fillet to be under 200g in weight.
Breadcrumbs can be made and stored in freezer week ahead.
