Steps:
- Make the Ranch Spinach Dip first to give the flavors a chance to marry and chill.
- Cook the spinach as package directs, then put in a drainer and squeeze out all the moisture, then wrap a clean towel around and squeeze out the excess moisture, set aside.
- Next chop the shallots you want about 1/3 a cup here.
- Chop the fresh chives.
- Chop the water chestnuts, or buy them that way.
- Put the cream cheese in a medium bowl and add the ranch dressing, whip with a electric mixer to combine.
- Then add the water chestnuts, spinach, shallot, chives and pepper.
- Mix well, cover and chill at least 1 hour.
- Pre heat your fryer to 375°.
- Meanwhile, put the flour and cayenne in one shallow plate.
- Put the eggs and water in a second plate and whip to combine.
- In a third shallow plate (I use a pie plate) Combine the bread crumbs, parmeaean cheese, pepper, ranch dip mix, lemon zest, thyme and oregano.
- Cut the chicken breasts into strips 1 inch wide and about 3 to 4 inches long.
- Put chicken in a plastic bag and pound out to flatten a little.
- This will make them cook faster and more evenly.
- Dredge the chicken first in the flour, then dip in the egg wash, and roll in the seasoned bread crumbs.
- Drop small amounts into the hot fat and fry about 4 to 5 minutes or until golden and crispy internal temp is 150 °and juices run clear.
- Serve hot with the Ranch Spinach Dipping Sauce.
