金雞塊馬鈴薯泥 (CHICKEN NUGGETS WITH MASHED POTATOES)

Ingredients :-

2 large chicken breasts, remove skin

1 tablespoon salt

1 tablespoon freshly grated black pepper

6 tablespoons plain flour

2 eggs, lightly beaten

2 cups breadcrumbs, sold in a box

oil for frying

MASHED POTATOES

700g russet potatoes

½ cup milk or cream

40g butter

2 tablespoons finely chopped chives

salt and pepper to taste

1. Slice chicken horizontally into half. Cut into nugget sizes and marinate with salt and pepper.

2. Meanwhile, place potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer partially covered for 20 mins or until tender.

3. Drain potatoes and remove skin. While still hot, mash potatoes with a potato masher. Add milk and butter and continue mashing until texture is smooth. Add chives and season with salt and pepper.

4. Coat chicken pieces lightly in flour. Dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

5. Pour oil into a frying pan until it covers the base. Heat over medium fire. When hot, cook chicken for 2 to 3 mins on each side or until golden and cooked through. Fry chicken in a singer layer and do not put more than six nuggets at a time so as not to overcrowd frying pan.

6. Serve nuggets with mashed potatoes on the side.

TIP : Nuggets can be prepared a day ahead and fried when needed. The same applies for mashed potatoes; but don't blend in a food processor, it will turn gooey.
