We’ll take 12.
The chicken fillet roll and a bag of Taytos are two of the most loved Irish foods and two that people miss the most when they move abroad.
The lovely people at GastroGays.com, which is run by two Irish guys, have combined both to create something magnificent and undoubtedly delicious.
They’ve come up with a recipe for the TAYTO CHICKEN FILLET ROLL, yes, we are screaming.
It’s not just a bag of Tayto flung on top of a roll, the crisps are used as coating for the juicy chicken instead of your standard bread layer.
These are the ingredients, we know it looks like a lot but think to those carbs.
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 packets of Cheese & Onion Tayto
- 100g plain flour
- 1 large free range egg
- 100g golden breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 2 bake-at-home baguettes (or from the bakery)
- Lettuce
- 2 large salad tomatoes
- Butter or mayonnaise (optional)
- Salt & Pepper for seasoning
This is how you make them.
1. Preheat your oven to 200C.
2. Take the chicken breasts out of the fridge and flatten them out a little bit but don’t make them too thin.
3. Get three plates. Put seasoned flour in one, beaten eggs in the second and crushed Tayto in the third with some breadcrumbs, garlic powder and ground pepper.
4. Dip the chicken breasts into the flour, followed by the egg, followed by the crushed crisp mix. Make sure to get messy with the final dip to ensure lots of coating on the breasts.
5. Put the chicken breasts on a baking tray and place them in the oven for 20-30 minutes.
6. While they are cooking, get your roll ready, chop the lettuce, tomato and whatever else you want on there.
7. Remove the chicken from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Cut into slices and then stuff the piece into the roll with your fillings. It’s alive!
Mother of God. Let the good times roll.
