How to make Chicken Fillets with Brie Cheese
- Step 1
Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets.
- Step 2
Lay the fillets flat on your work surface, season with salt and pepper to taste, and place a few slices of Brie cheese on top of each fillet.
- Step 3
In a bowl, beat the egg with the milk and season with a pinch of salt.
- Step 4
Lightly crush the cereal and place it on a plate.
- Step 5
Place the flour on a separate plate.
- Step 6
Coat each chicken fillet (with the Brie cheese) first in the flour, then in the egg and milk mixture, and finally in the crushed cereal.
- Step 7
Heat oil in a frying pan. Once hot, fry the breaded fillets, ensuring the heat remains low to avoid overcooking or burning.
- Step 8
Remove the chicken fillets from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
