- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Prepare

- 1 red onion, halved and finely sliced
- 1 apple, peeled, cored and grated
- Juice 0.5 lemon
- vegetable oil, for shallow frying
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Using a food processor fitted with a blade, shred the white cabbage, grate the carrots, finely slice the red onion, and peel, core, and grate the apple. Alternatively, prepare by hand. Place all prepared vegetables in a large bowl.
-
Step 2.
Add the mayonnaise, salt, and lemon juice to the vegetables. Stir to combine.
-
Step 3.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to pop and turn grey, about 1–2 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Pour the hot oil and mustard seeds over the coleslaw and toss to combine. Set the coleslaw aside while you prepare the chicken.
-
Step 5.
Set 3 wide, shallow bowls on the worktop. In the first bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the egg. In the third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
-
Step 6.
Working with one chicken mini fillet at a time, toss it in the seasoned flour, then dip into the beaten egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat. Set the coated fillet aside and repeat with the remaining chicken.
-
Step 7.
Pour vegetable oil into a large frying pan to a depth of 2 cm (¾ in) and heat over medium heat until hot. Fry the chicken in batches, without overcrowding, for 2 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
-
Step 8.
Divide the coleslaw into serving bowls and top each with a few pieces of crispy chicken. Alternatively, serve everything in the middle of the table for everyone to help themselves.
