Method

Chicken Fingers

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into strips about 1 inch wide.

  2. 2

    Set up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dip each chicken strip first into the flour, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, fry the breaded chicken fingers in batches for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Drain

    Once cooked, remove the chicken fingers and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Fries

  1. 6

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips, about 1/4 inch thick.

  2. 7

    Fry the Potatoes

    In a separate large skillet or deep fryer, heat oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the potato strips in batches, frying until they are golden brown and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 8

    Drain and Season

    Remove the fries and place them on a plate lined with paper towels. Sprinkle with salt immediately while they are still hot.

Queso

  1. 9

    Melt the Cheese

    In a saucepan over medium heat, combine Velveeta cheese and milk. Stir until melted and smooth.

  2. 10

    Add Tomatoes

    Stir in the can of diced tomatoes with green chilies and chili powder. Mix well and heat until warmed through.
