Instructions

Prepare the Chicken

  1. Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap.
  2. Pound to about **¼-inch thick**.

Add the Cheese

  1. Place a slice of mozzarella and cheddar in the center of each chicken breast.
  2. Sprinkle with Parmesan, Herbie's Schnitty Seasoning, and salt and pepper.
  3. Fold the chicken over the filling and press the edges firmly together. - The cheese needs to be completely enclosed.

Crumbing the Schnitty

  1. Set up three bowls:
    1. Flour
    2. Beaten eggs
    3. Panko, breadcrumbs, Schnitty Seasoning, salt, and pepper
  2. Coat each stuffed chicken breast in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.
  3. Refrigerate for 20 minutes before cooking. This helps the coating set and keeps the cheese inside.

Cooking the Schnitty

  1. Heat about ¼ inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  2. Cook the breaded chicken breast, sealed side down, gently for about 3 minutes per side, turning carefully, until deeply golden brown.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and transfer to a lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature has reached 165 degrees.

Making the Dipping Sauce

  1. Add the Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce to a small bowl then add the fresh squeezed orange juice and 1 teaspoon of the schnitty seasoning. Whisk together and reserve for serving.
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let the Schnitty rest for **2–3 minutes** before cutting.

    Jenny's Tip: - Serve with crispy hot chips, a simple green salad and lemon wedges. Cut the Schnitty open at the table so the melted cheese runs out onto the crispy crust.
