Nestum Chicken

Nestum Chicken. We love this dish because the crunchy Nestum flakes fried in butter and absorb all the strong aroma of the curry leaves. The golden sand were so good, we finished everything till the last bit.

I'm using chicken fillet strips or also known as chicken tenders. These strips of white meat are located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat. It taste exactly the same as breast meat and are tender and moist when cooked. Got them at the fresh market near my place here, where they sell this chicken strips separately at RM15/kg. Not many places sell them separately apart from the usual wings and drumsticks, as each chicken only have 2 pcs of strips.

You can use 3-in-1 packet Original Nestum to cook this dish. Otherwise the Original Nestum in tin/foil packaging works the same as well minus the milk powder content in it. Do not use porridge oat. It's a totally different thing.
