Ingredients
  • 3-4 TBSPNs Ghee
  • 1 lb. Chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts (either pound the breast to make them really thin or cut the breasts in half. They need to be very thin so they cook through quickly)
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • Rutabega Breadcrumbs
Directions
  1. Heat the ghee in a saute pan as you prepare 2 bowls. One bowl with the egg. And the other bowl with the "bega crumbs".
  2. Take the pounded chicken and coat in the egg,
  3. Then dip the egg coated chicken in the "crumbs" to coat. Repeat with all the chicken.
  4. Place the now "dressed" chicken in the hot, melted ghee to start cooking. It should sizzle when it hits the pan.
  5. Don't overcrowd the pan. You can probably do 2-3 pieces at a time.
  6. If the pieces are thin enough, it should only take 1-2 minutes per side to cook through and brown the crumbs. So after to 2 minutes flip and cook for another 2 minutes.
  7. To flip, pierce with a fork and gently turn over.
  8. After cooked through transfer to a paper towel to pat off any excess oil.
