Preparation
What You Need
Instructions
Cut chicken into 2˝ x 2˝ (5 cm x 5 cm) by no more than ½˝ (1 cm) thick pieces.
Cut cheese into similar-sized pieces, but thinner.
Preheat oven to 450oF (230oC). Oil a cookie sheet.
Cut horizontal slit in each piece of chicken and insert a piece of Cheddar. Press edges together.
Flour chicken-Cheddar pieces thoroughly. Shake off excess flour.
In a bowl, whip eggs with a bit of water. In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs with oregano, salt and pepper.
Dip chicken-Cheddar pieces one by one into the egg mixture, then coat with seasoned breadcrumbs. Repeat dipping and breading to make sure chicken is thoroughly coated to prevent cheese from leaking out during cooking.
Place medallions on oiled cookie sheet and bake 12–15 minutes or until deep golden and chicken is thoroughly cooked, turning them over midway through cooking.
Serve with chili or BBQ sauce, ketchup or honey, accompanied by a vegetable platter.
Tips
The medallions may be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator until they are ready to be cooked.
Canadian Swiss, Mozzarella, Gouda, Havarti.
