- Season the chicken cubes with salt and pepper.
- Roll the chicken cubes in the flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the cereal.
- In a hot frying pan, brown the breaded chicken cubes in oil, about 3 minutes on each side. Check for doneness, which may vary according to the size of the chicken cubes.
- Divide the rice, breaded chicken cubes and sauce between the plates.
