  • 2 large Eggs beaten
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • 1 teaspoon Salt

Instructions

How to Make Crispy Chicken Cutlets

  • Start by placing the boneless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound them to an even thickness, about ½ inch.
  • In three separate bowls, arrange the flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and Parmesan cheese.
  • Take each chicken piece and dip it in the flour, then into the egg wash, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • In a large skillet, heat about ½ inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  • Add the breaded chicken cutlets to the hot oil, frying for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and let them rest.
  • Serve warm with lemon wedges and fresh herbs.
