Chicken Sticks With Cheese
The chicken sticks with cheese are the perfect appetizer for meetings, parties or even idle Sundays. These sticks are quick and easy to make and are also the perfect addition to a party, dinner, or children’s birthday. The recipe is very similar to that of chicken nuggets, but with a version. They go great with any sauce, be it ketchup, barbecue, honey and mustard or Caesar… And they are to die for!
Option 1: Chicken Sticks with Cheese
Ingredients:
- 500 g of chicken breast
- 100 g of emmental cheese
- 2 slices of sliced bread
- 100 ml milk
- 1 tablespoon of salt
- Pepper
- Flour
- 2 eggs
- Bread crumbs
Process:
- First, put the slices of bread to soak in the milk.
- Second, mash the breast with the food processor or a mixer (or ask the butcher to mash it himself).
- Later, grate the cheese (or buy it grated).
- Then, in a bowl, combine the breast with the bread, the salt, the cheese and mix well until all the ingredients are integrated.
- With the help of a spoon, take portions of the dough and shape them into a cylinder (it can be done with a plastic bag with a small hole at the end, as if it were a pastry bag. The size of the hole will determine the thickness of the stick).
- Beat the eggs and coat the sticks in flour, pass them through the egg and the breadcrumbs.
- If you are not going to consume all of them, they can be refrigerated or frozen at this point.
- When they are going to be consumed, fry them in plenty of very hot oil. They will be richer if you add a sauce for dipping.
Option 2: breaded chicken fingers
Ingredients:
- 400 g chicken breasts
- 100 g of grated cheese
- 120 g breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- Salt
- Oil for frying
Process:
- First, clean the chicken breasts, removing the fat well, and cut them into strips.
- Then beat the eggs and place the breadcrumbs on a flat plate.
- Later, salt and season the chicken to taste and sprinkle it with grated cheese.
- Pass the chicken strips through the breadcrumbs, then through the beaten egg and again through the breadcrumbs.
- Fry in plenty of oil over medium heat, until golden brown on both sides and drain on absorbent paper to remove excess oil.
Option 3: Baked Chicken Fingers
Ingredients:
- 250 g chicken breast
- 1 bag of Doritos Tex-mex
- 1 glass of milk
- 2 large eggs
- Flour
Process:
- First, cut the chicken breasts into strips about 6-7 cm long.
- Leave the chicken marinating in a plate with milk for half an hour, so that it becomes more tender.
- Blend the doritos until they form a fine powder, like breadcrumbs. Place them on a shallow plate.
- Later, in a bowl, beat the eggs with a little milk.
- With the help of a fork, drain the chicken pieces well and pass them in flour, bathe them in egg and coat them in the Doritos, pressing well to stick.
- Then place the chicken on a baking tray and bake for about 20 minutes at 180ºC.
- Now you have your chicken fingers with cheese ready!
