Recipe information
Yield
4 servings
Ingredients
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound cream cheese, softened
4 scallions, chopped
2 pounds chicken breast cutlets
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups bread crumbs (6 overflowing handfuls)
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 tablespoons poppy seeds
3 tablespoons dehydrated onion flakes
3 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (eyeball it)
2 eggs, beaten with a splash of water
Preparation
Step 1
Heat an inch of vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium to medium-high heat.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with the scallions. Spread the chicken cutlets with the cheese and roll into tight, small bundles. Wash up. Season the bundles liberally with salt and pepper.
Step 3
Mix the bread crumbs with the garlic, poppy seeds, onion flakes, and sesame seeds in a shallow dish. Coat the bundles in flour, dip them in the eggs, and then roll in the flavored bread crumbs. Fry until evenly golden all over and serve hot, or chill and serve cold.
