Before you begin, have ready three plates, which are flour, eggs and bread crumbs. Sprinkle with flour and pepper crackers. I added a little finely chopped dried rosemary, as an interesting complement to the overall taste. Preheat oven to 180 ° C. Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Pour 4 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
Place the breasts between two sheets of parchment or cooking of the film. Repel something flat and heavy-bottomed medium saucepan, for example. Better do not use hammers for beating with teeth, they tear meat fibers, turning it into a rag.
Each fillet can be cut in half lengthwise and flatten to a state of very thin cutlets. This will speed up the timepreparation and eliminates the need for the oven. I also like to keep juicy breasts, having beaten it slightly, giving it a uniform thickness throughout its length.
After each piece of chicken repulsed, roll them in flour, then dip into beaten egg, then cover with a good layer of breadcrumbs. Place in refrigerator until cooking salad.
Add to the pan butter. Place chicken pieces in a frying pan and fry for a minute on each side, until golden brown and delicious crunch. Place the fillets in the oven for 5-7 minutes, until tender. Chicken in breadcrumbs will keep all of their juices, however, do not perederzhivat.
Drain chicken pieces on a paper towel to remove excess fat. Serve the fried chicken, not forgetting a couple of drops of lemon juice and fresh garnish.

As there are avocados?

Members of the World Wide Web is often asked, as is avocado? Many times I have heard something like "avocado - it is good to eat." As a rule, so say those who do not know how to choose an avocado, or, as it is called, Perseus American.
Unripe fruit does not bring any pleasure. How to determine the unripe fruit? First, it is hard, while the ripe fruit is soft to the touch. With slight pressure feeling is that hid under the skin butter. Outside, avocados can be a dark green color. The most delicious fruit is almost black on the outside and pale green inside.
So, the choice made. Now let's talk about how the avocado is. Under no circumstances shall not eat avocado pit! Substances contained in it are dangerous to health and human and animal. The use of seeds in food can lead to serious complications in the organs of the digestive system, can be an allergy.
Avocados are good to use to everyone, especially people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Vitamins A and E, are part of the avocado, good for the skin. And oleic acid helps to reduce blood cholesterol.
Avocado pulp tastes like a nice lot of butter with the herbs. For my taste, the delicate avocado - with a touch of walnut. But these benefits do not always come across.
I really like the taste of avocados, but here is the dish to stand up - and it gets a nasty gray-brown color, almost the same as that of stale banana. Previously, I tried to cook dishes of avocado as a last resort, right in front of the feed to the table. But this is not always convenient. Sometimes the guests at the door, and I'm still in the kitchen. I do not like. I wish that the coming of the guests it was already on the table.
One time I refused to do dishes with avocados. But one chance I wanted to fill a shrimp salad with avocado lime juice. Imagine my surprise when, and after 5 and 40 minutes did not change the color of the avocado. Later, I found confirmation - lemon or lime juice does not really give avocados oxidize.
Avocado - magic wand for the supporters of vegetarian dishes. It is added to many salads instead of meat products. It turned out that a very tasty veggie salad "Olivier." Instead of meat and eggs use avocado. A mayonnaise prepare yourself.
To do this, take

 
soy milk (150 ml), sunflower oil (300 ml) apple cider vinegar (3 tablespoons), mustard (2 tablespoons) agave syrup (1 tbsp) can be replaced by 1 tsp sugar, salt (1.5 tsp). Milk must be cold. All the ingredients except the sunflower oil, should be placed in a high power blender. Put the whip. Very carefully and slowly introduce back all the sunflower oil. Do not rush to the oil thoroughly. Beat until then, until a mass of the consistency of thick cream. Fill it with mayonnaise salad "salad with avocado."
