KITTENCAL'S MOIST CHEDDAR-GARLIC OVEN FRIED CHICKEN BREAST



Kittencal's Moist Cheddar-Garlic Oven Fried Chicken Breast image

This is for serious garlic lovers. The chicken bakes out so moist and tender! Grated cheese may be sprinkled on top of the breast the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired but that is optional. Double all ingredients for more than four breasts and adjust the amount of garlic to suit taste. For the coating amount you might be able to get away with 5 or maybe 6 very small chicken breasts, but I would suggest to increase the amount slightly --- to take this dish to yet another level, about 10 minutes before the cooking time is finished, drizzle the top of the chicken with a little pasta sauce, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Return to oven for about 10 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked and sauce is hot and cheese has melted. For a lemon-garlic flavor add in 3 tablespoons lemon juice to the melted butter/garlic mixture --- *NOTE* for a healthier alternative Smart Balance Butter Blend may be used in place of the melted butter --- you will love this chicken!

Kittencal's Bakery Buttercream Frosting/Icing image

This is similar to bakery frosting and so much better than any canned! --- for extra fluffy frosting use heavy cream and make certain to beat for at least 3-5 minutes and remember to sift the confectioners sugar before using. For flavor and color you can add 1-2 envelopes 3-grams each, Duncan Hines Frosting Creations Flavor Mix, any flavor desired.

Time 10m

Yield 4 cups (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup crisco white shortening, room temperature (white)
1/2 cup butter, softened or 1/2 cup margarine
4 -6 tablespoons half-and-half cream or 4 -6 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon salt (heaping)
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
2 teaspoons vanilla or 1 teaspoon almond extract
5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (or as needed)
2 -4 drops food coloring (OPTIONAL ( OR for flavor and color, use 1-2 envelopes 3-grams each, Duncan Hines Frosting Creations )

Steps:

  • In a large bowl using an electric mixer at medium speed beat together the shortening and margarine or butter with cream, salt almond extract and vanilla until smooth (about 3 minutes).
  • Add in sifted confectioners sugar starting with 4-1/2 cups; beat very well until smooth and fluffy, adding more confectioners sugar or cream or milk until you achieve desired consistency.
  • Add in the food coloring or Flavor Creation powder (if using) until the desired shade is achieved.

Tips:

  • For extra crispy chicken, double coat the chicken in the flour mixture and make sure to press it firmly into the chicken.
  • Use a heavy bottomed pot or Dutch oven to fry the chicken. This will help to maintain a consistent temperature and prevent the chicken from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Do not overcrowd the pot when frying the chicken. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy chicken.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

This recipe for Kittencal's Extra Crispy Fried Chicken Breast is a surefire way to please everyone at your table. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and it's flavored with a delicious blend of herbs and spices. Whether you're serving it for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion, this chicken is sure to be a hit.
