Chicken breast chops: breaded, battered, in a frying pan and in the oven

Among the variety of meat dishes, a special place is given to chops. Their name speaks for itself. The product is a chopped piece of meat, fried in a frying pan or baked in the oven.

The chop can be made from beef, veal, pork and even chicken. Breast is best for chicken chops. This meaty part of the chicken carcass is famous for its lack of fat, tendons, and bones.

But with all these advantages, the finished breast meat often turns out to be a bit dry. Beating breaks down the fibers and reduces the thickness of the piece, so the meat cooks much faster and therefore does not have time to dry out.
