Woolworths is committed to sustainability via our good business journey. Seasonal (and other) products might not always be in stock.

Cooking Instructions

  1. Place the chicken fillets between two layers of cling film and gently pound with a meat hammer to flatten the breasts. Repeat with all the meat.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and place in the buttermilk for a couple of hours. Then shake off the excess buttermilk.
  3. Season 150g of flour with a little more salt and pepper and add the thyme as well as the cinnamon.
  4. Drench the chicken with flour, dip in egg wash and then in fresh bread crumbs. Place on a big tray and refrigerate for another hour or overnight.
  5. When you're ready to cook the chicken, heat enough oil in a pan or a wok and deep fry the chicken until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Make the mushroom and cheese sauce. Wipe the mushrooms with a damp cloth and slice.
  7. Heat the butter in a pan and add the mushrooms. Saute for a few minutes and then add the remaining flour.
  8. When it thickens add the cream or the milk and allow to slowly come to a boil.
  9. Add the cheddar and taste for seasoning.
