Cereal Chicken

Healthier version of cereal chicken ... pan-fried instead of deep-fried
Ingredient

300gm boneless chicken breast meat, pound with back of knife till meat is thiner
Some salt to season chicken breast meat
Some oil, for pan-frying chicken meat

3/4 cup Nestum cereal (original flavour)
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tbsp milk powder
*Mix these ingredients together and stir thoroughly. Set aside.

1 bird's eye chilli, thinly sliced
8 sprigs curry leaves, remove stalks (important ingredient, do not omit)

2 tbsp unsalted butter

Method

1) Season chicken breast meat with salt.
2) Heat oil in pan, then pan fry chicken breast meat till cooked (careful not to overcooked otherwise chicken would turn hard and difficult for kids to chew)
3) Dish out and let it cool. Use kitchen towel to dry out excess oil on the chicken meat (Drying is important otherwise the cereal mixture will be wet when you add in the chicken).
4) When chicken is cooled, cut into bite-size cubes.
5) Melt butter in pan till bubbling and lightly brown.
6) Add curry leaves and chilli. Fry over medium heat till fragrant.
7) Lower heat. Add cereal mixtures. Curry leaves should crisp up by this time. (Cereal mixtures burn quite fast, so ensure you reduce heat to low)
8) Add in the chicken cubes and thoroughly coat with cereal mixture.
9) Dish out and serve ...
