4 servings
60 minutes
Cheesy battered chicken strips are a dish that combines tender chicken fillet with a rich creamy cheese flavor. This is a variation of classic strips popular in European cuisine but with a refined touch due to the addition of aromatic cheese and herbs. The golden crispy crust, rich paprika flavor, and spicy notes of parsley make this dish perfect for cozy home dinners or party snacks. The strips pair wonderfully with sauces—from garlic to barbecue—and their versatility allows enjoyment both hot and cold. Preparation doesn't require complex skills, and the result consistently delights with its juiciness and appetizing appearance.
