270g chicken fillets, cut into long thin strips

For the dip
150ml soured cream
Zest 1 lime and juice of ½

Put the popcorn, bread and paprika in a food processor and blend until finely combined.
Tip into a wide, shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk the egg in and mix the flour with some salt and pepper in a third bowl.
Dip the chicken strips first into the seasoned flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the popcorn breadcrumbs. Press the crumbs to coat and stick.

Drain on kitchen paper.
Serve warm with the dip on the side.
