Description

Crispy Chicken Cutlets are thinly sliced chicken breasts breaded and pan-fried to golden perfection. Perfect for a quick dinner or sandwich filling.


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

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally to create thin cutlets. Pound to even thickness if needed.
  2. 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.
  3. Dredge each cutlet in flour, dip in egg mixture, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Fry cutlets 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
  6. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  7. 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.
