Main Ingredients
- 1 Chicken Breast
- 30-40g Fresh Mozzarella Cheese
- About 2 cups Frying Oil (Canola Oil or Vegetable Oil)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the chicken breast. Butterfly the chicken breast by slicing it horizontally and opening it up. Then, gently pound it with the back of a knife to make it thinner and wider. This helps it cook evenly and ensures a tender texture. Season both sides evenly with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
Step 2
Lightly sprinkle 1 tablespoon of flour over the seasoned chicken breast. This step helps prevent the cheese from falling out and ensures the coating adheres well.
Step 3
Place the sliced fresh mozzarella cheese along the chicken breast. Be careful not to place it too close to the edges, as the cheese might melt and ooze out during cooking.
Step 4
Tightly roll up the chicken breast over the cheese, similar to making a sushi roll. Roll it up firmly. Secure the end of the rolled chicken breast with a toothpick to prevent it from unraveling during frying. Lightly roll the entire coated chicken breast in flour again to ensure an even coating.
Step 5
Heat about 2 cups of frying oil (canola or vegetable oil) in a pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot enough (test by inserting a wooden chopstick; small bubbles should rise around it), carefully place the rolled chicken breasts into the oil. Fry them until golden brown and crispy on all sides, approximately 7-10 minutes, ensuring the inside is fully cooked.
Step 6
In the same pan, leaving some of the chicken frying oil, add 20 thinly sliced garlic cloves. Fry them gently over low heat until they turn golden brown and crispy, creating garlic chips. Once done, slice the fried chicken breast cheese rolls into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a serving plate, drizzle with a little of the garlic-infused oil, and top with the crispy garlic chips. Enjoy the delicious combination of savory chicken and melted cheese, elevated by the nutty flavor of the crispy garlic. This dish is incredibly flavorful on its own, without needing any additional sauce!
