Instructions

  1. 1 Cut chicken breasts, horizontally, through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open breasts like a book; place between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound butterflied breasts with the smooth side of a meat mallet until thin. Slice breasts into half lengthwise.
  2. 2 Fill a large bowl with some ice water. Place a shallow bowl, for the batter, inside the large bowl to keep the batter cold while cooking the chicken.
  3. 3 Place beaten egg into a large bowl. Sift flour and cornstarch into beaten egg; add lemon juice, paprika, baking soda, and salt. Stir in club soda until incorporated; a few lumps in the batter will create an airy texture, so be careful not to overmix.
  4. 4 Transfer batter to the shallow bowl set on top of ice water.
  5. 5 Heat 1 inch vegetable oil in a deep saucepan over medium heat until glossy and reaches 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Fully coat chicken pieces in batter, carefully lowering into the hot oil, in 2 to 3 batches.
  7. 7 Fry until golden brown and crispy and no longer pink in the centers, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a serving tray. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.

Instructions

  1. 1 Cut margarine into flour in a medium bowl until it resembles coarse meal. Mix in just enough club soda to form a ball. Refrigerate dough for 3 hours.
  2. 2 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Assemble 4 oven-safe onion soup bowls.
  3. 3 Combine mixed vegetables, water, and leftover chicken in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Add cornstarch and chicken bouillon; cook and stir until mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Set aside.
  4. 4 Remove dough from the refrigerator and divide into 5 balls. Roll 4 of the balls on a lightly floured surface into circles that are large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the soup bowls. Roll out the last ball of dough. Cut out 4 circles, each slightly larger than the size of each bowl opening.
  5. 5 Press bottom crusts into each soup bowl and fill with about 1 1/2 cups filling on top. Top with smaller dough circles and press dough together to seal.
  6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, 45 to 50 minutes. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
