Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon dried tarragon
• Salt, to taste
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into thin strips
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil
• 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup finely chopped walnuts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Beat the egg together with the milk in a shallow bowl. Combine the walnuts, flour, tarragon, and salt in a second shallow bowl. Dip the chicken strips first into the egg mixture, then into the flour mixture, coating evenly, and place on a plate.

Step 2

Melt the butter with the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in small batches in the butter mixture until the coating is browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Test one to be sure it is cooked through. Chicken should be no longer pink and juices run clear. Drain on paper towels.
