    Step 1.

    How to fry chicken nuggets with cheese in a frying pan? This dish is quite easy to make. First, prepare the necessary ingredients. For nuggets, you can take chicken fillet from the breast or thigh of a bird. In both cases, to save time, use boneless meat.

    Wash the chicken fillet, dry it and cut it across the fibers into slices about 3 cm thick. If your fillets are small, like mine, then just cut it in half.

    Step 3.

    Cut the cheese according to the number of meat pieces in not very long cubes so that they do not get out over the edges of the chicken slices. You can use any cheese you like best. Mozzarella, Gouda or ordinary Russian will do. The main thing is that it melts and tastes good.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can ruin even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Since the degree of salinity, sweetness, bitterness, sharpness, acid, burning is individual for everyone, always add spices, spices and seasonings, focusing on your taste! If you put some of the seasonings for the first time, then keep in mind that there are spices that it is especially important not to shift (for example, chili pepper). 

Use oil with a high smoking temperature for frying! Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it.
Unrefined oils, with rare exceptions, have a low smoking point. There are a lot of unfiltered organic particles in them, which quickly begin to burn.
Refined oils are more resistant to heating, and their smoking point is higher. If you are going to cook food in the oven, on a frying pan or grill, make sure that you use oil with a high smoking point. The most common of the oils with a high smoking point: refined varieties of sunflower, olive and grape.
