Total time:

Ingredients

500 g of chicken breast cut into strips 1 finger thick
Salt and pepper

For the marinade:

180 ml. plain yogurt (can be skimmed)
The juice of a lemon
Freshly ground pepper at will

For the batter:

50 grams thick panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon Provencal herbs
40 grams grated cheese
1 tsp. poppy seeds or black sesame
Salt and pepper

For la salsa:

60 ml. plain yogurt (can be skimmed)
2 tablespoons of light mayonnaise or two of Dijon mustard coffee
Lemon zest
Salt and pepper

Preparation

We start by making the sauce, for which it will be enough to mix the ingredients in a bowl with the help of some rods; reserve in the fridge. On the other hand, we put the batter ingredients in a freezer bag and reserve them in the fridge as well; this way it will be drier.
Season the chicken and reserve. Then, we mix the ingredients of the marinade, mixing everything well, and smear the chicken strips with this marinade. Let it marinate for two hours in the fridge, no more. After time, we drain the meat very well so that it loses part of the liquid.
Finally, we put the chicken inside the freezer bag with the batter and shake it well: this way we will not stain anything and the meat will take the right batter. We put the strips in a pan with hot oil *, we are putting it on absorbent paper, and we serve immediately together with the sauce.

*If you choose to bake them, preheat to 200ºC and place the battered strips on a suitable tray for this cooking. Cook for about 20 minutes, turning them in half. If you see that they are toasted too much, cover with aluminum foil: you can always give them a grill stroke so that they are golden brown.
