Marks Mighty Goujons

• 400g chicken fillets
• 25g panko breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil
• 3 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tsp hot smoked paprika
• Handful of finely grated Parmesan cheese
• Zest of one lemon
• Salt and pepper

Method:

Mix the Dijon mustard, smoked paprika and a little salt and pepper in a bowl.  Place the breadcrumbs onto a plate and mix through the Parmesan cheese and lemon zest.  Press the fillets into the mustard mix and then into the crumbs, ensuring they get a good coating, place onto a plate and put in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.

Put enough vegetable oil into a shallow frying pan to cover the base by about half an inch, heat until nice and hot.  Cook the chicken fillets until they are nice and crispy, should take around 15 minutes or so, leave to drain on kitchen towel and then serve.  We had these with chips and dips but they go equally well with a nice crisp salad.  Yet again another quick and easy recipe idea, who said chicken had to be plain and boring!
