Step 1

Begin by slicing your chicken breast into a butterfly (split the chicken breast horizontally and open it like a book). This will allow you to easily pound the meat to an even thickness.

Step 2

Prepare three plates, one with your flour, one with your whisked egg, and one with your breadcrumbs.

Step 3

Place the chicken breast into the flour and coat on both sides (this helps the egg stick to the chicken). Transfer the chicken over to the egg, coat both sides, and then finally over to the breadcrumb plate. Make sure that both sides of the chicken breast are evenly coated with breadcrumbs.

Step 4

Grab yourself a frying pan and fill it with an inch of vegetable oil. Place it on medium heat and after about 3 minutes, the oil should be hot enough for your chicken. Top Tip - to check if the oil is ready, touch the bottom of the pan with a chopstick, if bubbles begin to rise up around the chopstick, then the oil is ready to go!

Step 5

Gently slide your chicken into the oil and fry on each side for 4 minutes or until golden. Remove and place on a piece of kitchen paper to absorb any excess oil.

Step 6

Slice your sesame bun in half horizontally and then toast it to your liking.

Step 7

Prepare your other ingredients including your avocado, cheese, red onions, cilantro, and chillies.

Step 8

Once everything is ready to go, begin assembling your Mexican Cemita. Place down the bottom half of your roll and layer with avocado, then your fried chicken, then cheese, red onion, coriander, chillies, and lastly, the upper half of your bun! Serve up and enjoy!
