- Set it aside for 15 minutes to air-dry
- Shallow fry chicken on slow flame until tender about 4-5 minutes from each side.
- As soon as you take the chicken cutlet out of the pan, add a slice of cheese (or the shredded cheese) on top to allow it to melt.
- In a separate bowl, mix two tablespoons of peri-peri sauce with cream cheese and mayonnaise to make the sauce; add some milk if you want to adjust the consistency.
- Spread some sauce at the base of a plate and put the chicken cutlet on top.
