Ingredients

3 pieces chicken breast steak boneless, skinless
3 slices semi-hard cheese e.g., Gouda, Edam, Monterey Jack or Havarti
2 canned peaches in sweet brine
2 Tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

Clean and wash 3 pieces chicken breast steak, then pat them dry using kitchen paper towels.
Cover the chicken steak with a piece of plastic wrap and pound it with a meat mallet to about ½ inch thickness. Season the steaks on both sides with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground black pepper.
Melt 2 Tablespoons butter in a pan over medium heat. Place the prepared chicken steak in the melted butter, increase the heat slightly, and fry the meat on both sides until golden brown on the surface.
In the meantime, prepare 2 canned peaches: depending on their size, halve or quarter them and place them in a home grill or toaster to enhance its flavor.
Remove the pan with the cooked chicken steak from the stove. Place a slice of cheese on top of each steak. Cover with a lid and let the cheese partially melt.
Arrange the chicken steak with melted cheese on a plate, top with a peach, and serve with boiled potatoes. Pour over the juices from the pan that were produced during the cooking of the chicken.

Notes

The basic recipe makes 3 portions.
Turn the meat with tongs; do not pierce it with a fork, as this will cause the juices to run out and make the steak unnecessarily dry.
The fatter the cheese you use, the more it melts, which is not always desirable. The ideal fat content of the cheese should be around 30-35%.
You don't have to grill the peach in advance. Instead, cover the fried chicken steak with sliced peaches, place the cheese on top, and let it melt under the lid.
