🥄 Texture

Crispy exterior from the pan-fried chicken cutlets and golden fries contrasts with a creamy, smooth instant mashed potato topping and melted shredded cheese. The mayo-ketchup dip adds a silky, slightly sticky finish while the cheese and potato mix give a soft, gooey bite.

👃 Aroma

Warm, savory notes of browned chicken and fried potato dominate, with a toasty, slightly oily scent from the pan. Underlying dairy aromas from the ricotta/cream cheese and shredded cheese add a mild creaminess, while the mayo-ketchup brings a faint sweet-tangy background.

🍷 Pairs Well With

A crisp lager or pilsner to cut the richness, or a chilled, zesty Sauvignon Blanc; sparkling water with lemon is a nonalcoholic alternative.

🥗 Side Dishes

Light green salad with a bright vinaigrette, crunchy coleslaw or pickled vegetables to balance richness, or steamed/roasted seasonal vegetables for added freshness.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the frozen chicken cutlets in the pan and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside on a plate.

  2. 2

    In the same pan (or a separate one), cook the frozen french fries according to package directions, usually 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally until crispy and golden. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    While the fries cook, prepare the instant potato puree according to package directions in a small bowl. Stir in the white cheese and mix until smooth and creamy.

  4. 4

    In another small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and ketchup to create a simple sauce.

  5. 5

    Arrange the cooked chicken cutlets on a serving plate, top each with a spoonful of the creamy potato mixture and sprinkle with shredded cheese. Serve alongside the crispy fries and the mayo-ketchup sauce on the side for dipping.
