Preparation
1
Bake the Wedges

  • Preheat your oven to 240°C/220°C fan/gas mark 9.
  • Chop the potatoes into 2cm wide wedges (peeling optional).
  • Pop the wedges onto a large (lined) baking tray.
  • Drizzle with oil, season with half the paprika, salt and pepper then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer.
  • When the oven is hot, roast on the top shelf until golden, 25-35 mins. Turn the tray halfway through.

TIP: Use two baking trays if necessary.

2
Get Prepped

  • Add 2 tbsp flour (per 2P) to a bowl.
  • Beat one egg (per 2P) in another bowl.
  • In a third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Central American spice and salt to taste.
  • Slice the chicken breasts lengthways into 5-6 thin strips per person. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging.

TIP: Notice a stronger smell from your chicken? Don’t worry, this is normal due to packaging we use to keep it fresh.

3
Crumb the Chicken

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Dip each slice first into the flour, then the egg and finally the breadcrumbs, ensuring each is completely coated.
  • Transfer to a clean plate.

Little Chef's TIP: Kids can help crumb the chicken.

4
Fry the Chicken

  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with enough oil to coat the bottom.
  • Once hot, add the chicken (cook in batches if necessary).
  • Fry until golden brown, 3-4 mins each side. Adjust the heat if necessary. IMPORTANT: Chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.
  • Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper.

TIP: You want the oil to be hot so the chicken fries properly. Heat for 3-4 mins before adding the chicken.

5
Finishing Touches

  • When the wedges have 5 mins left to cook, remove from the oven and sprinkle the cheese over the top.
  • Return to the oven and bake until melted, 5 mins.
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the mayo and remaining paprika.
  • Toss the salad leaves with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil.

6
Dish Up

  • Divide the chicken between plates. Add a flaked almond 'fingernail' to each slice.
  • Serve the cheesy wedges and salad leaves alongside.
  • Drizzle balsamic glaze over the salad, then finish with a sprinkle of the remaining almonds.
  • Serve with a dollop of paprika mayo for dipping.

Little Chef's TIP: Little cooks: Kids can help add the flaked almond fingernails.
