Southern Fried Chicken & Chips
- Contains Wheat
Prepared with
Ingredients
- 17oz McCain Straight-Cut Home Chips
- 17oz chicken breast fillets
- 3oz panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp onion granules
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 10oz green beans
- 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
- Salt and pepper
- Low-fat cooking spray
- 1 tsp Cajun seasoning (optional)
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat both baskets of your air fryer to 200C
Step 2
Put the breadcrumbs, vegetable oil and spices in a large shallow bowl and mix to a crumbly texture. Put the beaten eggs in another bowl. Dip the chicken fillets in the egg and shake off any excess
Step 3
Next, press each one into in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all sides are well-coated. Lay them in the air fryer basket. A single layer is best – so you may need to do this in batches if you have a smaller air fryer. Tip the McCain Straight-Cut Home Chips into the other basket. Cook both for 8 minutes
Step 4
While they cook, wash and trim your beans. Place in a bowl with the garlic, salt and pepper, and some low-fat cooking spray
Step 5
Carefully remove the chicken fillets from the air fryer, spoon the beans into the basket and return the chicken on top, other side up. Shake the chips. Cook both for another 7 minutes. If using the Cajun seasoning, sprinkle it over your chips 2 minutes before the cooking time is finished
Step 6
Check the chicken is cooked all the way through – not pink in the middle – before serving. Thicker fillets may need an extra few minutes
Step 7
Serve the chicken, chips and beans with lime wedges on the side
