4 skinless, single chicken breast fillets (125g each)
8 teaspoons vegetable oil
8 teaspoons margarine
4 teaspoons plain flour
1 cup milk
1/2 cup Cheddar cheese
Paprika for garnish

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
On a sheet of greaseproof paper, combine the flour and breadcrumbs.
In a shallow bowl, whisk egg whites with 8 teaspoons water. Dip chicken in egg white mixture, then in the breadcrumbs mixture, turning to coat well.
In a large frying pan, heat oil over a medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning once, until browned, about 10 mins. Place chicken in a baking dish. Bake until cooked through, about 15 mins.
To prepare sauce, melt margarine in a small saucepan over a medium heat. Add flour and stir over heat for 1 min.
Add milk and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Reduce heat to low, simmer for 2 mins, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in 1/4 cup cheese.
Place chicken breasts on individual dinner plates. Pour sauce over and sprinkle with remaining cheese. Garnish with paprika and serve immediately.
