Instructions
- Cut the mozzarella into 1-inch x 1/3-inch x 1/3-inch sticks.
- Cut chicken tenders into pieces about 1.5" in length
- Using a sharp knife, cut a pocket into each piece of chicken lengthwise. Cut almost all the way through the chicken.
- Stuff the mozzarella in the the pockets. Ensure the cheese goes all the way into the chicken.
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper to season.
- Put the flour into one bowl. Put the egg into a second bowl and beat until uniform in color. In a third bowl, add the panko, parmesan, and parsley and mix to combine.
- Dust all of the chicken with a generous coating of flour, rolling each piece around.
- Use one hand to dip the flour coated chicken in the egg, then transfer to the bowl with the panko.
- Use the other hand to roll the chicken in the panko.
- Add 1-inch of oil to a heavy bottom pan and heat to 340 F. Prepare a wire rack lined with paper towels.
- Fry the chicken on one side until the panko starts to brown around the edges and then flip to fry the other side until browned. Be careful not to over fry the chicken.
- Skim off any cheese from the top of the oil with a mesh skimmer.
- Serve hot with basic tomato sauce.
