Steps

30 minutes

1

In three separate plates place flour in one, beaten eggs in one and chicharrones and panko with seasonings in another.
2

Cut long slits into each large chicken breast.
3

I freeze the swiss cheese for about 20 minutes before stuffing chicken, this keeps it from melting too fast during cooking process.
4

Stuff cheese into slit and push it in as far as possible. You may need to seal open area with toothpicks.
5

Dredge chicken in flour. Then dip in eggs. Let excess drip off. Then coat in crumb mixture. Press crumbs firmly into chicken. Place onto a separate plate.
6

In a large deep skillet add enough oil to shallow fry.
7

Over medium heat let oil reach 325 degrees. Once temperature is reached add chicken. Do not crowd your pan.
8

Cook chicken several minutes until golden brown on one side then flip.
9

Cook other side until golden brown. Since this is a large piece of chicken you will most likely cook it on four sides. When stuffed like this it becomes a more rounded shape. It's best to cook it slower ensuring the inside cooks through. Remove chicken and place onto paper toweling to absorb excess oil.

Serve nice and hot over your favorite side dish.
