- Four separate shallow bowls
- A large skillet
Ingredients
- Ingredients
- - One pound boneless skinless chicken breast (cut into small strips)
- - Four ounces cheddar cheese sliced into thin strips
- - Two tablespoons all-purpose flour
- - One teaspoon garlic powder
- - One teaspoon onion powder
- - Salt and pepper to taste – optional
- - One cup Panko bread crumbs
- - Cooking spray or oil for frying/baking
Instructions
- Directions
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, and spices (optional).
Place the cheese slices and chicken in two separate shallow bowls.
In a third shallow bowl, season the flour with salt and pepper (optional). Dip the chicken strips into the flour mixture until coated, then set aside.
In another shallow bowl, beat eggs well. Dip cheddar cheese slices into the egg mixture until coated, then coat in bread crumbs.
Spray or heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add cheddar cheese/chicken strip combos gently into the hot oil so that they don’t splash around too much and make a mess.
Fry until both sides are golden brown (about three minutes each side) and cheese is melted.
Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauces, and enjoy!
