Bitesize cheesy snacks perfect for parties

Chicken Alfredo Mozzarella Sticks are a creative twist on the classic mozzarella sticks, combining the flavors of creamy chicken Alfredo with gooey melted mozzarella cheese. Here's a recipe to make these delicious bites:

Ingredients:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 8 mozzarella cheese sticks
• Vegetable oil, for frying
• Marinara sauce, for dipping

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken breasts in a pan over medium heat until they are fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Let the chicken cool, then shred it into small pieces using two forks or by pulsing it in a food processor.
3. Set up a breading station. Place the flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another dish, and mix breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in a third dish.
4. Take one mozzarella cheese stick and wrap it with a small amount of shredded chicken, ensuring the cheese is completely covered. Repeat with the remaining cheese sticks.
5. Dip each chicken-wrapped cheese stick into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs gently to adhere to the chicken. Make sure they are well coated.
6. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the coated chicken Alfredo mozzarella sticks to the hot oil, cooking a few at a time, for about 2-3 minutes or until they are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
7. Transfer the fried sticks to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and place them in the preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes to ensure the cheese is fully melted and the chicken is heated through.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve the chicken Alfredo mozzarella sticks with marinara sauce for dipping.

Enjoy the delicious combination of creamy chicken Alfredo and gooey mozzarella cheese in these crispy and flavorful bites! They make a great appetizer or snack for any occasion.
