Method

  1. Cut each chicken breast into five strips. Season the egg, then coat each piece of chicken first in the egg, then the polenta. Heat about 2cm oil in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry for 5-7 mins until the coating is crisp. Drain well on kitchen paper.
  2. Spoon the crème fraîche into a small bowl and swirl in the peri-peri sauce. Dress the watercress with the vinaigrette and serve on the side with the chicken and dipping sauce.
