Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Button mushrooms
- 0.5 cup Black olives (pitted)
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs
- 4 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Clean the chicken breasts and slice them into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Rinse the button mushrooms and pat them dry. If they are large, cut them into halves or quarters.
Roughly chop the black olives into small pieces.
In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. This will be your seasoned flour mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Pour the breadcrumbs into a separate, shallow dish.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally coat it generously with breadcrumbs. Repeat until all chicken pieces are breaded.
Repeat the same dredging and coating process for the mushrooms.
In a deep frying pan or a heavy-bottomed pot, heat the vegetable oil on medium-high to 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy if available.
Fry the breaded chicken pieces in batches for 6-8 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Remove the fried chicken with a slotted spoon and place it on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil.
Fry the coated mushrooms in batches for 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Set them aside to drain as well.
In a small saucepan, sauté the chopped olives with a teaspoon of vegetable oil over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.
Arrange the fried chicken and mushrooms on a serving platter. Sprinkle the sautéed black olives over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and crispy. Enjoy!
