Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley

Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut the 1.5 lb chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Place the 1 cup flour in a shallow bowl and beat the 2 eggs in another bowl.

  2. 2

    Heat the 2 cups vegetable oil in a deep skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 5 minutes. Test with a pinch of flour—it should sizzle immediately.

  3. 3

    Dip each chicken piece in the flour, then the egg, then back in the flour. Shake off excess. Fry in batches without crowding, turning occasionally, until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes per batch. Drain on paper towels.

  4. 4

    In a separate saucepan over medium heat, combine the 1 cup heavy cream, 4 oz cream cheese, and 1 cup mozzarella. Stir constantly until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Add the fried chicken to the sauce and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with the 1 tbsp dried parsley and serve immediately.
