Chicken Fillet "Carbonade"

Here's a way to cook chicken so it tastes like pork carbonade—chicken that passes for pork. The name is no accident: this chicken has an uncanny resemblance to tender pork. Anyone who doesn't know what it's made from will never guess!

Cooking method

Cooking time: 40 min

Step 1:

Cut the skinless chicken fillet into medium pieces, the way you'd normally cut pork.
Step 2:

Sprinkle with salt and spices (I used black pepper and sweet paprika), add the baking soda, and mix.
Step 3:

Squeeze in the juice of half a lemon. It'll foam and fizz! Let it sit for 10 minutes.
Step 4:

Then sprinkle with the cornstarch, mix, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 5:

Then dredge each piece in flour.
Step 6:

And lay them out in a single layer in a skillet of hot oil right away.
Step 7:

Fry (uncovered!) on one side, then carefully flip each piece with a fork and fry the other side until golden and crisp. The pieces will puff up a bit and take on a juicy, meaty flavor.
Step 8:

Serve right away.
Step 9:

Fast, tasty, and pretty!
Step 10:

Enjoy!
