2. For the Cheese Sauce, melt the butter and cream together and then add in the other ingredients. Keep the mixture at a low simmer until ready to use.
   
3. Cut chicken breast into strips, or buy them pre-cut and let them thoroughly soak in the buttermilk then toss them into a seasoned flour mixture and coat liberally.
   
4. Once fully coated, deep fry for 365°F for about 5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked all the way through.
