TIP
Chicken can be prepared the day before, covered with plastic wrap and store 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 a week ahead.
