ingredients:

• 2 chicken breasts (thawed)
• 1 egg
• rice flour (enough to coat chicken breasts)
• spices, to taste: sea salt and ground black pepper
• peanut oil

process:

• prepare counter area by placing cutting board and knife beside a bowl
• beat one egg in bowl
• set out a plate (or bowl) with the rice flour and seasonings in it
• place an empty plate at the end of the line for the coated chicken strips
• this setup will establish a nice flow for your work space and make the process go smoothly when your hands are all covered in egg and batter!) I found it helpful to keep a spoon in the flour bag in case I needed more flour as I went along, I also kept the spices handy! 

• cut chicken into long, thin strips
• place each strip into egg and coat well
• place the coated egg in the rice flour and spices, coating evenly. 
• place the coated strip onto plate and continue until all strips are coated
• heat the pan and put peanut oil in pan and let oil warm up
• place some strips evenly spaced onto the pan 
• the rice flour will make the strips stiffen into shape
• once strips are firm, flip and cook well on opposite side 
• flip again and continue until chicken is fully cooked
• place strips to side, keep warm and continue until all strips are cooked
• as you cook the strips, pan will warm up so temperature may need to be turned down to avoid burning the chicken
