Gooey mozzarella and poblano pepper fried chicken: Try the recipe

Cru Cafe’s Mozzarella and Poblano Fried Chicken is loosely based off Chicken Cordon Bleu, but with a Southern twist, Executive Chef John Zucker tells Fox News.

This hearty dinner may look fancy, but it only takes about 25 minutes to make. 

Pro tip: "With this dish, you want to be sure not to over-fry! Keep careful watch while frying," says Zucker. "When you pull it out of the oil, it should be perfectly golden brown before you put it back in the oven to finish baking."
