Step-by-step preparation:
Prepare the chicken mixture
Mince the chicken breast and onion. Add breadcrumbs, parsley, egg, margarine, salt, black pepper, and chicken seasoning. Knead the ingredients until well combined and homogeneous. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
Shape and stuff the fingers
Flatten a portion of the chicken mixture on an oiled surface into a thin square. Place processed cheese slices in the center. Fold the edges of the square over the cheese to form a stuffed chicken finger. Repeat until all mixture is used.
Fry the chicken fingers
In a pan over medium heat, add a small amount of oil. Fry the chicken fingers on all sides until cooked through and golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Prepare the béchamel sauce
In a pot, toast the flour with the butter until it changes color. Gradually add the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens. Add a large spoonful of processed cheese, salt, and black pepper. Continue stirring until the sauce is smooth and light.
Assemble and serve the dish
In an oven dish, arrange a layer of fried potatoes. Place the fried chicken fingers on top. Pour the béchamel sauce over the chicken and potatoes. Sprinkle cheddar cheese on top. Place the dish in a preheated oven until the cheese melts and browns slightly. Serve hot.
