- Preheat the oven to 230°C.
- Grease a pan with a little oil.
- Portion the chicken fillet – 1 steak per person.
- Cover the meat batter with cling film.
- Beat the chicken fillets with a meat mixer so that they are uniform in height.

- First pass the chicken fillets in the soft wheat flour, shake to remove the excess.
- Then in the beaten egg and drain.
