2. Slice each chicken breast diagonally, into 4 long strips to make goujons.

3. Place the flour and egg, in separate bowls. Season the flour with salt and pepper.

Coat the goujons first in flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Place in a single layer on a tray.

4. Shallow fry in batches in hot oil for about 3-4 minutes on both sides until golden and crispy and cooked through.

5. When cooked place each goujon onto kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.

Serve immediately with your favourite dip or simply with tomato ketchup.

Tips: Leave out the lemon and parmesan to make plain goujons.
