Method
- Put the rapeseed oil into a frying pan and turn on heat (keep an eye on it, when it sizzles with a breadcrumb it is the correct temperature).

- Divide each breast into 3 strips.
- Mix the flour with salt and pepper.
- Put eggs in another bowl.
- In a third bowl mix the panko (or toasted breadcrumbs), seeds, turmeric, cayenne and 3/4 teaspoon of salt.
