When cooking chicken breasts, the most important thing is not to dry them out, keeping them juicy and tender. In this recipe, the breasts are coated in a mixture of almond paste, honey, and milk before pan-frying, then rolled in Japanese panko breadcrumbs. The result is not only super juicy but also incredibly delicious, with a crispy, sweet-and-spicy crust. Serve the fried chicken with a fiber-rich side of roasted kale and apples, and with lemon wedges for a splash of juice.

1 glass (st.) - 250 ml.
3/4 cup (st.) - 180 ml.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:


  1. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss the kale and apples on a baking sheet with 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Bake, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft and the kale is golden brown, about 20 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, combine the almond paste with the milk, honey, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Dredge the chicken in the flour, then dip it in the almond mixture and coat it in the breadcrumbs.

  3. Heat 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken, adjusting the heat as needed to prevent burning, until crisp and cooked through, 5-6 minutes per side. Serve with roasted kale and apples, drizzled with lemon juice.
