Not for butter phobes! This is one of the best tasting and easiest dishes you'll ever make. I got the recipe from my friend Cindy but she doesn't know where she got it. I have yet to meet a person who doesn't love this. Serve with a big loaf of crusty bread and/or mashed pots.

I'm trying my hand at Freezer Cooking and this is one of the recipes I have tried (so far!). This smells so fantastic when it's cooking! Tangy and savory. In fact, by the time I had it on plates, it seemed as if it was gobbled down, thus, no picture (as of yet!). The next time I make it, I will be faster! I should mention...

LUBY'S CAFETERIA'S CHICKEN DURANGO RECIPE

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/2 cups plain bread crumbs
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
1 cup milk
1/3 cup tartar sauce (Hellmann's was used)
4 pieces thinly-sliced lean ham
4 slices processed Swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Pound chicken breast until they are 1/2-inch thick. Mix seasoned salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper with plain breadcrumbs, set aside. Dust chicken with breadcrumbs, dip in milk, then dip chicken breast back in seasoned bread crumbs. Place chicken in heated fry pan with just enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of pan. Fry breast on medium heat until golden brown. Remove chicken breast and place on serving tray. Spread each breast with 1 1/2 tablespoons tartar sauce. Place ham on chicken. Top ham with a slice of the Swiss cheese. Place chicken Durango in oven or microwave just long enough to heat and melt cheese. Serve with your favorite salad or side vegetable. This recipe yields 4 servings.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are best for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, pound them thin so they cook evenly.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure it's packed with flavor. The recipe in the article uses a combination of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and paprika.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from drying out. If you cook it over high heat, the outside will burn before the inside is cooked through.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the chicken will steam instead of fry. Make sure there's enough space between the pieces of chicken so they can cook evenly.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: This recipe is great with rice, beans, tortillas, or salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken Durango is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, cumin, chili powder, and paprika, then cooked until tender and juicy. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete and satisfying meal.
