Ingredients

• 1 quart oil for frying
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• Garlic salt and pepper to taste
• 2 chipotle chilies in adobo sauce, or to taste
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup mayonnaise

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and pepper in a bowl; set aside.

Step 2

Place the mayonnaise and chipotle peppers into a blender and puree until smooth. Scrape the mayonnaise mixture into a plastic bag; add the chicken breasts and coat evenly with the mayonnaise. Press the chicken breasts into the bread crumb mixture and shake off any excess.

Step 3

Cook the chicken breasts in the hot oil until the breading is golden brown and the breasts are no longer pink on the inside, about 8 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
