Breaded Fried Chicken Breast with Spinach Stuffing

Breaded fried chicken breast is another version of chicken steak that is fried and crispy. If you love crispy coated chicken cutlets you’ll love this treat. The marinade makes the chicken mildly spicy and tangy. The chicken is juicy from the inside with crispy crust on the outside.

Breaded crispy Fried chicken

What makes this recipe special is the cheesy spinach stuffing that flows out of the chicken. This saves the chicken from getting boring and adds such lovely flavor to every bite. Instead of deep frying, I choose to shallow fry the chicken breast to avoid excess use of oil. I know, I can bake it but sometimes, you just don't want that extra step and keep all cooking on the stove.

Check out the tips section below baking and deep frying and ingredient substitution guides. I hope it helps.:)

Tips:

  • Baking Guide: You can also bake this breaded chicken breast at 425 F for 10 minutes. Bake the breaded chicken on a wire rack with a tray underneath. If do not have wire rack then bake chicken on baking paper lined baking tray. Flip chicken halfway.
  • Deep Frying Guide: You can also deep fry this chicken for 8-10 minute on medium high heat until golden and crispy.
  • Substitution Guide: You may substitute 1 teaspoon garlic powder with 1 teaspoon garlic paste. Add garlic paste in chicken marination to skip garlic powder in seasoning.
  • You can substitute 1 tablespoon tomato paste with 1 fresh tomato diced, but then you have to cook longer until tomato melts and water dries.
  • You can substitute 2 cream cheese triangles with 3 tablespoon of cream cheese.
  • Gluten Free Guide: For gluten free fried chicken breast switch flour for cornflour and breadcrumbs for gluten free cornflakes in equal measures.
