I watched a Hallmark movie last night! It was an awesome movie as always! It gave me an idea for a new recipe. In the movie, a chef used ice cream cones in the breading of fried chicken. What an awesome idea! I decided to create a new recipe using that idea. I must say, it turned out amazing! I added some honey mustard dipping sauce which made it even better than amazing!
Hallmark Ice Cream Fried Chicken Bites
Yield = 6 servings
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breast
- 1 box of ice cream cones
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup of heavy whipping cream
- 2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp honey
- ½ cup flour
- Vegetable oil
Honey mustard dipping sauce:
Ingredients:
- ½ cup yellow mustard
- 2 TBS honey
- 2 TBS brown sugar
Directions:
Cut the chicken breast into bite-size cubes. In a medium mixing bowl whisk four eggs, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, salt, and honey. Place the cubed chicken into the egg mixture. Stir to coat the chicken well. Using a food processor, process the box of ice cream cones into the consistency of Panko breadcrumbs. Using a Ziploc bag, mix the ice cream cones and the ½ cup of flour. Place the chicken into the Ziploc bag, and shake the bag to evenly coat the chicken pieces. Place vegetable oil in the bottom of a frying pan – approximately 1/4 inch deep. Heat the oil. Fry the chicken until crispy and golden brown on both sides. Note: do not get the oil too hot – the chicken will not cook evenly.
For the dipping sauce, simply mix the ingredients together. Taste the dipping sauce and add additional sugar or honey as needed.
Enjoy!
