Golden Mustard & Cheese Stuffed Chicken Cutlets
"Experience the ultimate comfort food with these pan-seared, golden-crusted cutlets featuring a decadent molten core of savory ham and sharp, melted cheese."
Instructions
Place each chicken fillet between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
Lay one slice of ham neatly over each fillet, trimming if necessary. Spread a small amount of mustard over the ham.
Fold each fillet in half to enclose the filling, pressing lightly to seal.
In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated cheese until well combined.
Dip each stuffed fillet first into the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb-cheese mixture.
Heat the cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken for about 4 minutes per side, until golden brown, crisp, and cooked through.
Transfer to paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot for best flavor and texture.
