Put the chicken on a board and cover
with a sheet of baking parchment. Bash with a rolling
pinto an even thickness, then cut both breasts in half
diagonally.
-
Put the flour on a plate. Season.
Combine the egg and milk in a wide, shallow bowl. Dust the
chicken in the flour, shake off the excess, then dunk into
the egg mix. Add the almonds and sesame seeds to any
remaining flour on the plate and coat the chicken in the
mixture.
-
Heat half the oil in a large
frying pan over a medium heat and fry the chicken for 4-5
mins on each side until crisp and golden, adding the rest
of the oil when you turn the pieces over. Cut into the
thickest part of one of the pieces to check it's cooked
through, then leave to cool for 5 mins.
-
Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl
with the lime juice and a pinch of salt, then mash. Spread
over the baps, top with the lettuce, then the chicken. Cut
in half.
