Method

Prepare the chicken

  1. If you prefer to stuff them, open the breasts like a book. If you are looking for speed, cut the breast into 2 thin fillets.
  2. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic and, if you like, a touch of lemon juice.
  3. Lay the fillets flat on a surface.
  4. Place a slice of ham and one of cheese on each fillet, making sure they do not stick out.

Breading

  1. Beat the egg in a deep dish and put the breadcrumbs in another dish.
  2. Pass the stuffed fillets first through the beaten egg and then through the breadcrumbs, making sure they are well covered.
  3. Secure the fillets with toothpicks so the filling does not come out.

Fry

  1. Fill a frying pan with plenty of oil and heat it well.
  2. Remove the toothpicks and fry the fillets over medium-high heat until golden on both sides. Use kitchen tongs to flip them easily.
  3. Place the fried fillets on paper towels to remove excess oil and serve immediately.
