Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets. Pound to even thickness if needed.
- Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beat eggs with milk in another, and combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a third.
- Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Fry cutlets 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking.
- For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
- Cutlets can be frozen after breading for future use.
