Parmesan Asiago Fried Chicken, Kid Tested & Approved

Asiago Fried Chicken

Asiago Fried Chicken


I have two teenagers and it is not always easy to get them to eat the way I think they should eat. Salads? Hardly. Fresh fruit? Only once in a while. Vegetables? Only if I’m lucky. I try though and this is one of those things we make that get them motivated to eat the rest of dinner so I can sneak a few vegetables in there and they eat it right along with the chicken. We have one of those Cuisinart mini deep fryers. I am not a big fan of fried food but once in a while we have fun with it. You can also cook this in a pan, just turn until they are brown to your liking and they cook quickly. This is a three step process but it does not have to be a messy thing. You will need a shallow bowl, a large Ziploc bag and a large plate/platter.

Add the following things to your Ziploc bag and put aside:
2 cups flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 teaspoon all purpose seasoning like Lawry’s.

In the Shallow bowl beat 2 eggs and stir in 1/2 cup milk

On the large plate or platter you will mix the following:
1 cup flour
1 cup Panko bread crumbs
1 cup shredded aged cheese, we use Parmesan and Asiago.

We use 2 whole chicken breasts for this recipe, boneless and skinless of course. Cut them into think strips or even small chunks if you want nuggets. The first thing you want to do is add your chicken strips to the Ziploc of flour and spices. Shake and coat well and put aside. Then, one by one you want to dip them in the egg mixture and coat well and put them immediately in the cheese mixture to coat. Once that is coated well with the cheese mixture place in the deep fryer or in the pan, the oil should be ready to go at about 350 degrees. These do not take long to cook if you keep the strips thin. My kids eat them just as they are and often they don’t even make it to the dinner table. They grab them as they come out. I love them on my salad with a little goat cheese and honey mustard dressing.
