Chicken stripes coated in cornflakes with coleslaw

I've been meaning to try chicken coated in cornflakes, and I have had the intention of making coleslaw for days now, so today I united these two in a very american lunch :) The good thing about this chicken is that you don't have to deep fry it, it only needs a bit of oil because the chicken breast gets done very quickly. It's not a very quick dish, I suggest making it on weekends when you have time to deal with the coating. 

Ingredients for the chicken: 

• about 3/4 kgs of chicken breast, cut in stripes
• 4-5 tablespoons of flour
• 3 eggs
• a packet of non flavoured cornflakes
• 1 teaspoon of grated chili
• one and a half tablespoons of roast chicken seasoning
• 1 teaspoon of dried garlic  

 Ingredients for the coleslaw: 

• 1 small head of cabbage cut in thin stripes
• 2 carrots
• 1 stick of celery
• half a leek
•  juice of half a lemon
• 4 tblspoons of mayo
• 4 tblspoons of sour cream
•  salt, pepper 

Sprinkle the dried garlic, the chili powder and the roast chicken seasoning onto the chicken stripes and give it a good stir. Then roll the stripes first into the flour, then the beaten eggs, then the smashed cornflakes. The easiest way to crush them is to put the flakes into a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Then fry them in a bit of oil until both sides are golden brown. 

For the salad, sprinkle some salt onto the cabbage and let it rest for a while. Meanwhile slice the other vegetables up very thin, and then add them to the cabbage. Mix the dressing and pour it onto the salad mix. Let it rest for a while because it might need some extra salt or lemon juice, or a bit of ground caraway seeds. 

Pirog with red cabbage

This is a bit different version of pirog than the original one because it's not made of flaky pastry and I used red cabbage as well for the filling. The dough is half part Graham flour, half part plain flour. I was curious if it tastes good with red cabbage in it and surprisingly I liked this version even more. The next day there were only a couple of pieces left :)

Ingredients for 2 big oven pans

• 15 dkgs of plain flour
• 30 dkgs of Graham flour
• 20 dkgs of butter or margarine
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 6 tablespoons of sour cream
•  half of a red and a white cabbage, rasped
•  caraway seeds
•  2 tablespoons of sugar
•  grated cheese
•  1 egg

 

Rub the margarine or butter into the flour and add the salt and the sour cream. Knead the dough until it becomes easy to handle. Let it rest until you make the cabbage filling. Start heating up the sugar in a pan and when it's golden, add the lightly salted cabbage. Cook it until it becomes soft, stir it often. When it's done, let it cool down. Roll the dough out quite thin and cut squares out of it. Put some filling in the middle, sprinkle some cheese on it and fold the dough into a triangle shape. Push down the edges with a fork, put the triangle on the oven pan and give it an eggwash. It needs 15 minutes in the oven at 200 deg Celsius.
