1/2 pound bacon strips, chopped
3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 cup condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
4 ounces cream cheese, cubed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1-1/2 teaspoons dried minced onion
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

SPICY FRIED CHICKEN CUTLETS



Spicy Fried Chicken Cutlets image

Categories     Chicken     Fry     Gourmet

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 skinless boneless chicken breast halves (1 1/2 lb)
1 cup well-shaken buttermilk
1 teaspoon bottled hot sauce plus additional for serving
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
3 cups fresh bread crumbs (from 6 slices firm white sandwich bread)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 cup vegetable oil for frying

Steps:

  • Gently pound chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap with a flat meat pounder or a rolling pin until 1/3 inch thick.
  • Whisk together buttermilk, hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish, then add chicken, turning to coat, and let stand 15 minutes.
  • Stir together bread crumbs, cayenne, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in another shallow dish. Remove chicken from buttermilk 1 piece at a time, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs, pressing gently to help them adhere. Transfer chicken as coated to a sheet of wax paper.
  • Heat oil in a 10-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry chicken 2 pieces at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Transfer chicken with tongs to paper towels to drain and serve with hot sauce on the side.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and prevent any mishaps.
  • Choose the right chicken: For the best results, use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs. If you're using chicken breasts, be sure to slice them into thin strips so they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality breading: The breading is what gives the chicken triangles their crispy texture. Be sure to use a breading that is made with fresh ingredients and that has a good amount of flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're frying the chicken triangles, be sure to not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and will make it more likely to stick to the pan.
  • Drain the chicken triangles on paper towels: After you've fried the chicken triangles, be sure to drain them on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.

Conclusion:

Spicy chicken triangles are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They're perfect for parties or potlucks, and they're sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a something spicy and satisfying, give these spicy chicken triangles a try. You won't be disappointed!
