Perfect for those looking for a quick dish without sacrificing a delightful culinary experience. With just a few ingredients and a simple preparation method, you'll surprise everyone at the table with this irresistible dish.
Start by cutting the chicken breasts into medium-sized cubes of uniform size. This ensures even cooking. Be sure to remove any excess fat or skin. Set the chicken aside in a bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the 3 eggs until smooth. This mixture will be used to moisten the chicken and help the flour stick to the cubes. Set aside.
Now, season the cut chicken with salt, black pepper, and paprika. These seasonings will ensure that the chicken is flavorful with a mild kick. The paprika, in addition to flavor, will also give the dish a golden, appetizing color.
Once the seasonings are mixed into the chicken, add 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. The mayonnaise adds creaminess and helps lock in the flavors, keeping the chicken moist on the inside during frying.
Add 1/2 cup of flour to the seasoned chicken. Mix well so that the chicken cubes are fully coated with the flour. This step is essential to ensure a crispy outer layer while the inside remains tender and juicy.
In a frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot before adding the chicken, but be careful not to overheat it and burn the oil.
Carefully place the chicken cubes into the pan with the hot oil. Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even frying. Cook until the cubes are golden on one side, then flip them to brown the other side. This should take about 3 to 5 minutes per side.
After all sides are golden, add the shredded mozzarella cheese over the chicken in the pan. Let the cheese melt and cover the chicken cubes. Finish by sprinkling chopped green onion, which will add freshness to the dish.
With the cheese melted and the aroma of the green onion filling the room, your dish is now ready to be served. Enjoy the chicken while it’s still hot and crispy.
To make this dish even more special, serve these golden chicken cubes with your favorite dipping sauce. Barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or even a yogurt and herb sauce pairs wonderfully with the chicken. Another idea is to experiment with different spices, such as adding garlic or crushed red pepper for extra flavor.
With this simple, flavorful recipe, you can transform an ordinary chicken breast into a sophisticated, yet hassle-free dish. The crispy exterior, tender chicken inside, and melted cheese make this a perfect option for quick lunches or even a special dinner. And the best part: it’s made with ingredients you probably already have at home! Now it’s time to enjoy and collect compliments from everyone.
