Method

  1. Step 1

    Finely grate half the rind of 1 lemon. Zest the other half of the lemon. Combine the lemon rind and breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Cut the remaining lemon into wedges.
  2. Step 2

    Spread mayonnaise over both sides of chicken, then dip in breadcrumb mixture, pressing to coat. Place on a baking tray.
  3. Step 3

    Heat a greased large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3-4 mins each side or until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
  4. Step 4

    Divide the chicken among serving plates and sprinkle with lemon zest and capers. Season. Serve with salad leaves and lemon wedges.

Recipe tip

Whole-egg mayonnaise is a mess-free way to crumb chicken – it helps the crumbs stick without having to dip in egg.
