Cooking Steps

Prepare the chicken: Pound or slice chicken breast thin if making cutlet. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder. Dredge in flour, dip in beaten egg, coat with panko breadcrumbs (optionally mix in herbs/Parmesan). For fun shape, use cookie cutter or form manually before breading.

Cook the chicken: Pan-fry in hot oil (or bake/air-fry at 200°C) 4-6 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and internal temp reaches 75°C. Drain on paper towels.

Prep the bell pepper boat: Halve a green bell pepper, remove seeds/membrane. Optionally blanch lightly for softer texture or leave raw for crunch.

Prepare veggies: Wash and cut broccoli into florets (steam 3-5 min if preferred softer), slice carrots and celery into sticks, halve tomatoes, cube extra bell peppers, tear lettuce.

Assemble the plate: Place the crispy chicken piece inside/ on the bell pepper half. Arrange surrounding veggies attractively around the plate for color and fun (group by type or make patterns).

Finish: Optional light drizzle of olive oil, lemon juice, or yogurt dressing. Serve immediately for maximum crispiness—great with a side dip like ketchup or ranch for kids!
