Ingredients

25g salted popcorn

85g stale bread or breadcrumb

1 tsp smoked paprika

50g plain flour

1 large egg

2 skinless chicken breasts, cut into long thin strips

oil

150ml pot soured cream

zest 1 lime

Prep: 30 MINS
Cook: 15 MINS

Method

1)Put the popcorn, bread or breadcrumbs and paprika in a food processor and blend until finely chopped.

Tip into a wide, shallow bowl.

Whisk the egg in a second bowl, and mix the flour with some seasoning in a third bowl.

2)Dip the chicken strips first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the popcorn breadcrumbs – press the crumbs onto the chicken to help them stick.

Continue until all the chicken pieces are coated, then chill for 30 mins, or up to 1 day.

Mix together the ingredients for the dip in a small bowl.

3)When ready to cook the chicken, heat enough oil to just cover the surface of a large frying pan.

Once hot, cook the chicken pieces for 2-3 mins on each side (in batches so you don’t overcrowd the pan) until golden and cooked through.

Drain on kitchen paper.

Serve warm with the dip on the side.
