Luby’s Chicken Durango
Description
Luby’s Chicken Durango is prepared by pounding chicken breasts to about half an inch thick to ensure quick, even cooking. The chicken is coated twice in a seasoned breadcrumb mixture with seasoned salt and black pepper, with a dip in milk between breadings, creating a thick, crispy crust when fried in vegetable oil. The frying process yields a golden-brown exterior and tender interior.
After frying, the chicken breasts are placed on a heatproof tray, spread with tartar sauce, and topped with lean ham slices and processed Swiss cheese. The cheese is melted briefly in an oven or microwave to hold the toppings together and add creamy texture with a mild flavor. This layering produces savory, slightly tangy, and cheesy bites that contrast with the crisp chicken coating.
The dish is commonly served alongside a fresh salad or vegetable sides, balancing the rich and hearty flavors of the chicken. It works well as a main course for lunch or dinner. The combination of textures—from crispy crust to melted cheese and ham—provides a satisfying experience.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup tartar sauce
- 4 ham lean, thin slices
- 4 lices swiss cheese processed
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts until they are 1/2 inch thick.
- Set up a dredging station: Place the milk in a wide, shallow dish. In another wide, shallow dish, combine the seasoned salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs and mix well.
- Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs, dip in milk, and dredge in the breadcrumbs again.
- Add just enough vegetable oil to a skillet to cover the bottom of the pan. Place the skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken in the pan and fry until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken breasts to an oven- or microwave-safe serving tray. Spread tartar sauce over the chicken. Top each chicken breast with a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss cheese. Place the tray in the oven or microwave just long enough to melt the cheese. Remove from the oven and serve with your favorite salad or vegetable side dish.
