Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast - fillet cut into thinner pieces
- 2 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- ¼ -½ cup flour
- ¼ cup oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup cilantro - chopped finely
- 1 cup all-purpose cream
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine chicken fillet, fish sauce, and pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes to an hour.
- Dredge each piece in flour covering all sides completely. Over medium-high heat, fry in hot oil until golden. About 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove fried fillets from oil and set aside.
- On the same pan over medium heat, melt butter. Add cream and let it simmer. Once it starts to simmer add the chopped cilantro. Add 1 Tbsp of the dredging flour if you want to make the sauce thicker.
- Add back the fried breaded chicken fillets to the sauce and let it cook for another minute. Serve.

Notes
- If you have an aversion to cilantro, this recipe works very well with parsley as well.
- Although I highly recommend using fish sauce for the marinade, salt may be used as an alternative.
