Slice the chicken breasts into thin fillets.
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.
In a bowl, beat the egg with the milk and season with a pinch of salt.
Lightly crush the cereal and place it on a plate.
Place the flour on a separate plate.
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.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Once hot, fry the breaded fillets, ensuring the heat remains low to avoid overcooking or burning.
Remove the chicken fillets from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Ensure the oil is hot before frying to achieve a crispy coating.
Use unsweetened cereal for a neutral flavor that complements the Brie cheese.
Serve with lemon wedges and mayonnaise for added flavor.
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Yes, you can substitute Brie cheese with other soft cheeses like Camembert or even mozzarella for a different flavor.
What type of cereal should I use?
Use unsweetened cereal like cornflakes or bran flakes for the best results.
Can I bake the chicken fillets instead of frying?
Yes, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes until golden and cooked through.
How do I ensure the Brie cheese stays inside the fillet?
Press the cheese firmly onto the chicken fillet and coat carefully to seal it within the breading.
What side dishes pair well with this recipe?
Mashed potatoes, a fresh green salad, or roasted vegetables are great options to complement the dish.
