Fried chicken fillet
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Chicken fillet really cooks quickly, so make sure to prepare the side dish in advance, as any fried meat tastes much better straight from the pan. Mashed potatoes or vegetable puree, polenta, or plain rice, drizzled with the fillet's frying oil, would be an excellent choice. The dish is now ready to be served.

Flip the fillet. Now you can season with salt and pepper to taste, or you can skip this step—the saltiness of the side dish will be quite sufficient. After all, you can always add more salt to your plate later.
