Ingredients

1 large chicken breast, sliced into even-sized strips

2 tablespoon sour cream

pinch turmeric

1 teaspoon mexican seasoning or cajun spice

1 clove garlic, crushed

2 tablespoon lemon juice

1 1/2 cup (approx) panko or fresh breadcrumbs

oil for frying

8 crispy taco shells

grated cheese, shredded lettuce, grated carrot, diced red onion, sliced cucumber, to serve

sour cream and sweet chilli sauce, for garnish

Method

1.In a glass or stainless steel bowl, combine the chicken strips, sour cream, turmeric, spice, garlic and lemon juice, then mix until coated. Leave to marinate for up to 2 hours.

2.When ready to serve, toss the marinated chicken strips in the panko or breadcrumbs and cook in a large, preheated frying pan with a little oil until golden and cooked through.

3.Serve the chicken strips in warmed taco shells with a range of salad ingredients. Top with a dollop of sour cream and drizzle over sweet chilli.

Move over mince tacos – it’s never a problem to get the kids to the table with this delicious dinner option. Add more or less seasoning depending on your tastes. I find it’s fun to let everyone make their own taco, which makes this meal ideal for large gatherings. The sour cream, spices and lemon juice act as a marinade for the chicken, while the crumbs give it a nice crust.
