Its history begins in home cooking, where the aim was to combine the softness of chicken fillet with the rich flavor of cheese and the freshness of herbs.

Fried to a golden crust, they have an appetizing texture—crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. They are perfect for both family dinners and festive tables. They can be served with a side of mashed potatoes or fresh vegetables, complemented by a light sauce.
