Fried Chicken Cutlets Chinese Restaurant Style

This is a fried chicken recipe that I find in a lot of non-fancy Chinese restaurants. It's a fried chicken cutlet served over lettuce and rice and topped with peanut sauce, crushed peanuts, and green onion. It's a very simple dish to make, and a kind of comfort food for me.

What You Need to Make A Chinese Fried Chicken Cutlets Recipe:
CHICKEN BREAST sliced thin
OIL for frying
EGG and FLOUR for breading
LETTUCE ...use fresh, crisp greens
RICE ...I like jasmine rice for this dish
CRUSHED PEANUTS
GREEN ONION TOPS
SALT and PEPPER (to taste)
peanut sauce:
cup NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER
2 Tbsp SOY SAUCE
1 Tbsp CHILI GARLIC SAUCE
cup WATER or as needed to thin sauce
to desired consistency

How to Make A Chinese Style Fried Chicken Dish;

Slice chicken breast into cuts about inch thick.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Coat chicken lightly with all purpose flour.
Dredge chicken in an egg wash,
Re-flour chicken (or use bread crumbs...I kinda like just more flour for this recipe)
Heat a skillet and oil on medium heat, maybe slightly more than medium--you'll have to adjust the heat during cooking depending
on how much chicken is in the pan.
Make sure oil is hot before adding chicken! Otherwise the chicken will soak in the oil and be too greasy.
Add chicken to skillet.
Cook approx. 4 minutes until chicken is fried golden brown on bottom, then turn and fry other side approx 4 minutes. Adjust cooking time
as needed; the key is not having the oil so hot that the breading overcooks before the chicken is done, adjust heat as required.
Remove chicken from oil and drain on a paper towel.
For each serving, plate a serving of sticky white rice.
Top rice with sliced lettuce; use fresh, crisp greens.
Combine peanut sauce ingredients and drizzle sauce over the lettuce.
Slice one of the whole fried chicken cutlets into inch cuts and top over lettuce.
Add more peanut sauce.
Top dish with crushed peanuts and sliced green onion tops.

And that's it!
