This is one of my son-in-law's favourite chicken recipes. This recipe can also be made 'lighter' for those on a low fat diet by using a low fat cheese and trim/light milk and frying in a non stick pan which has been lightly sprayed with cooking spray/oil

Very tasty and easy. When making the sauce, I used 3/4 C of milk and 1/4 C of heavy cream just to give it a bit more thickness. A touch of salt and Sharp Cheddar (instead of Mild Cheddar) will make a big difference as it may be a bit bland.Reply

I'm assuming the 180 oven temp is in Celsius...? So, 350 Fahrenheit...?Replies 1

Wonderful recipe, modified the breading to suit taste, but made the sauce (the obvious star of the recipe) almost exactly as written (I added a little more cheese because I had a VERY mild one, but it wouldn't be necessary with a sharp cheese). My very picky family loved it!! will definitely make again!Reply -
I was looking for a cheese sauce with out Velveeta, a person in my house is not fond of it. As I was making the cheese recipe I added 8 tablespoons of butter in stead of teaspoons. So I thought well, just add 4 table spoons of flour (I used rice flour because we can not have gluten) I ended up adding almost 5 table spoons to make it thinker. then I added 2 cups of milk to see what would happen, I ended up needing about 2 and a half. and then with the cheese I added a cup and a half. Along with pepper, salt, and garlic. Wow what a wonderful tasting cheese sauce. From there I thought well I have enough to have cheese sauce for our veggies tonight and for a broccoli/cauliflower soup. So i separated what I needed for tonight and added about 2-3 cups of chicken stock I happened to be bowling, broccoli and cauliflower. Boy that is the best soup I have ever had. thanks for posting this wonderful cheese sauce!2Replies 1
