Parmesan and Lemon Baked Chicken Goujons with Salsa Verde Dipping Sauce
Salsa Verde Dipping Sauce:
Large handful of fresh parsley leaves
Large handful of fresh basil leaves
Small handful watercress or rocket
2 anchovy fillets
4-5 leaves fresh tarragon
1 tablespoon capers
1 small green capsicum
1 long green chilli
Juice & zest 1 small lime
3 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1/3 cup light olive oil
¼ cup pine nuts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 x 200g free-range chicken breasts
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
For the breaded coating:
5 x (approx. 40g ea.) slices of multigrain bread
Zest 2 lemons
50g Parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Extra lemon wedges to serve
Pre-heat oven to 180˚C fan forced. Line two baking trays with non-stick parchment. Set aside.
To make the Salsa Verde add all the ingredients into the bowl of a food processor and whizz until almost smooth, you want it still to have bit of texture. Transfer to a serving bowl and chill in the fridge until required.
Remove any excess skin from the chicken breasts and cut into bite-sized strips (about 2cm thick x 10cm or so long, and you’ll probably get about 10 per breast).
Place buttermilk and egg in a bowl and whisk. Set aside.
To make the coating, whizz bread slices in a food processor into breadcrumbs, add the lemon zest, grated Parmesan and season with a pinch of salt and lots of freshly ground black pepper. Whizz once more to combine. Turn out into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Coat each chicken strip in the buttermilk then toss liberally in the breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken pieces onto the pre-lined baking sheets, bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and coating if golden and crunchy.
Serve goujons warm with the Salsa Verde
