Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Flour for coating
5 large eggs, beaten
200-250g fresh white breadcrumbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable or corn oil for frying
A good knob of butter
Put one breast on a sheet of clingfilm that is at least double its size. Carefully, with a meat or cutlet bat (a rolling pin or side of a cleaver will do), bat each breast out into a neat 1cm-thick escalope.
Season with salt and pepper, then lightly coat with flour, patting any excess off with your hands, before passing them through the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs.
Heat about 1cm of oil in a frying pan and cook the escalopes for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden, then add a knob of butter at the end of cooking and turn them once more.
You can top these with a fried egg if you wish or serve with the pumpkin salsa.
