Ingredients:

1 bunch of mixed herbs, washed and with leaves finely chopped
2 slices of white bread, rendered into fine breadcrumbs
2 tbsp lemon juice
2 tbsp white wine vinegar
2 tbsp olive oil
475g chicken breast fillets
1 egg, beaten
plain flour, for dusting
100g fine breadcrumbs
salt and freshly-ground black pepper, to taste

Method:

Combine the herbs, onion, lemon juice, vinegar and oil in a bowl.

Slice the chicken breasts thinly lengthways then place between two pieces of clingfilm (plastic wrap) and pound until flat. Season to taste with salt and freshly-ground black pepper then dust with plain flour before coating in beaten egg and then coating in breadcrumbs.

Place on a hot barbecue and cook for about 90 seconds to 2 minutes per side, or until the breadcrumb coating is golden and the chicken is cooked through. Arrange on a warmed plate and pour over the herb dressing.

This can also be made with veal or pork.
