Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breasts (boneless skinless)
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp butter
Pinch of salt
For the sauce:
6-7 mushrooms ((or more if you love mushrooms))
1 tbsp butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cup cheddar (grated)
½ tsp chili flakes
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves (chopped)

Steps:

  • Wash chicken breasts, pat dry with a tissue.
  • Cut each chicken breast in half, and then each piece into 3. Which will make a total of 12 chicken pieces. (If you want, you can also cut the chicken breast into long strips. The chicken will cook even faster this way)
  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over high heat.
  • Season the chicken with salt and transfer to the skillet. Cook for 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Leave it aside. (Cook on high heat, don't reduce the heat. Cooking this way will result in more tender chicken from the inside and slightly crispy from the outside.)
  • Add 1 tablespoon butter to the same skillet, add sliced mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Add cream, take it to a boil, and reduce heat. Don't boil! Cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Top with grated cheddar cheese and chopped parsley leaves, stirring and mixing everything well until cheese is melted.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, add chili flakes and cook on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Taste if you need more salt. The cheddar is quite salty itself, so you may want to leave it as it is.
  • Garnish with parsley and you are ready to serve your delicious dinner!

Tips:

  • Make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe. This will make it easier to cut the chicken into strips and it will also help the chicken to cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin or a heavy skillet to pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help the chicken to cook more evenly and it will also make it more tender.
  • Be sure to dredge the chicken strips in the flour mixture before you cook them. This will help the chicken to brown evenly and it will also help the coating to stick to the chicken.
  • When you are cooking the chicken strips, be sure to cook them over medium heat. This will help the chicken to cook all the way through without burning it.
  • Once the chicken strips are cooked, be sure to drain them on paper towels before you serve them. This will help to remove any excess grease.

Conclusion:

The cheesy chicken crunchers are a versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or side dish. They are perfect for a party or a potluck, and they are also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The cheesy chicken crunchers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
