Swiss Fried Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F(175 degrees C).
• In a 9x13 inch baking dish, layer the chicken breasts, soup and water. Top each breast with a slice of Swiss cheese, then top it all with the breadcrumbs. Cut the butter or margarine into pads and place them over the top of the casserole.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Let cool and serve.

Steps:

• Put milk, chicken, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp paprika, and the bay leaves in a saucepan. Select your saucepan so that the chicken is covered.
• Bring the milk to a boil and simmer the chicken pieces for 8 minutes in the milk.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat and let sit for 30 minutes (this is the secret to the best chicken).
• Mix all coating ingredients together and put in a paper bag.
• Take chicken from milk, add to bag, and shake well to coat the chicken with the coating. Save the bag and coating mix. Save 1 cup milk. The remaining milk makes an excellent base for spicy cream of chicken soup!
• Place chicken on plate and refrigerate for at least 25 minutes - an hour is better. You may leave this step out if pressed for time, but it ensures a thicker, more consistent coating on the chicken - less falls off in the frying pan.
• Heat about 3 cm (1 inch) of oil in a large iron skillet - stove should be medium hot.
• Remove chicken from refrigerator, dip each piece in milk and recoat in the bag as done the first time.
• Place chicken in hot skillet and fry for 20 minutes, turning once.
• Drain on brown paper or a clean kitchen towel and serve!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Place chicken in a 9x13 inch baking dish and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover each chicken breast with a slice of cheese.
• In a medium bowl mix together the soup, sherry and sour cream, and pour mixture over chicken. Soften dill in melted butter; toss croutons in butter, and sprinkle them on top of chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, pepper and salt. Place a piece of cheese on each piece of chicken; tuck in ends and roll up. Secure with toothpicks. Roll in flour mixture. , In a large nonstick skillet, brown roll-ups in butter on each side over medium heat. Stir in the broth, wine or additional broth and oregano; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 10-12 minutes or until chicken juices run clear. Remove toothpicks before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Place chicken in a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. In a small bowl, combine soup and wine; pour over chicken. Top with cheese and sprinkle with croutons. , Bake, uncovered, until a thermometer inserted in chicken reads 165°, 35-40 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine 1 tablespoon salt with 3 quarts water in a large bowl or container. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight. Drain, rinse with cold water and pat dry.
• Stir together remaining 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper. Sprinkle half the mixture evenly over chicken.
• In a large sealable plastic bag, combine remaining pepper mixture and flour. Add 2 pieces chicken to bag and shake well to coat. Remove chicken pieces, shaking off extra flour, and set aside. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Take a large (10- or 12-inch) cast-iron skillet or chicken fryer, for which you have a lid, and fit with a candy or deep-frying thermometer. Add oil and bacon drippings and heat to 360 degrees over medium heat; the oil will ripple and possibly give off a few wisps of smoke.
• Using tongs, immediately add chicken pieces, skin side down (work in batches if necessary to avoid crowding pan). The oil will drop to about 325 degrees, where it should stay; adjust heat so that oil is bubbling gently around the pieces. Cover and cook 6 minutes; uncover and cook 9 minutes. Turn chicken pieces; cover and cook 6 minutes. Uncover and cook another 5 to 9 minutes, depending on size of pieces. If necessary for even browning, turn pieces over a few times toward the end.
• Drain on paper towels or paper bags. Let cool at least 20 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Take your cut up chicken pieces and skin them if you prefer. Put the flour in a large plastic bag (let the amount of chicken you are cooking dictate the amount of flour you use). Season the flour with paprika, salt and pepper to taste (paprika helps to brown the chicken).
• Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk then, a few at a time, put them in the bag with the flour, seal the bag and shake to coat well. Place the coated chicken on a cookie sheet or tray, and cover with a clean dish towel or waxed paper. LET SIT UNTIL THE FLOUR IS OF A PASTE-LIKE CONSISTENCY. THIS IS CRUCIAL!
• Fill a large skillet (cast iron is best) about 1/3 to 1/2 full with vegetable oil. Heat until VERY hot. Put in as many chicken pieces as the skillet can hold. Brown the chicken in HOT oil on both sides. When browned, reduce heat and cover skillet; let cook for 30 minutes (the chicken will be cooked through but not crispy). Remove cover, raise heat again and continue to fry until crispy.
• Drain the fried chicken on paper towels. Depending on how much chicken you have, you may have to fry in a few shifts. Keep the finished chicken in a slightly warm oven while preparing the rest.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard and honey. Pound chicken with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle chicken with steak seasoning.
