5. Now using your hands, take the chicken and cheese mixture and roll bite size portions.
6. Next take the chicken and cheese bites and dip into the flour/corn starch and water mixture you have setting aside. Remove from the mixture with a pair of tongs or your hands and place into the seasoned bread crumbs. Make sure to cover completely with the bread crumbs. Repeat this step until you have breaded all of the chicken and cheese bites. Set to the side on a plate and prepare to fry them.
