Ingredients
  

Chicken Preparation

  • 1 lb chicken breasts
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Garlic powder

Breading Mixture

  • 1 cup Panko Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup flour

Frying

  • Vegetable oil for frying Enough to cover the bottom of the pan

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Slice chicken breasts lengthwise in half to make them thinner.
  • Place chicken cutlets on top of a piece of Saran Wrap, then place another piece of Saran Wrap on top. Use a rolling pin or something heavy to pound the chicken breasts to make them even thinner.
  • Cut into chicken cutlet size pieces and season the chicken with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Breading

  • In one container, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
  • In another container, whisk together eggs.
  • In a third container, mix flour and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Coat chicken in the flour mixture, then the eggs, and finally the breadcrumb mixture.

Cooking

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
  • Cook the chicken for a few minutes on each side or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are golden brown.
  • Work in small batches so the pan doesn’t get too crowded.
  • Let chicken cutlets cool on paper towels to absorb any extra grease.
  • Enjoy.

Notes

Make sure to pound the chicken evenly to ensure it cooks properly and gets that crispy texture. Feel free to experiment with different seasonings in the flour or breadcrumb mix to add more flavor. To store, allow them to cool down completely, place in an airtight container, and keep them in the refrigerator for up to three days. For freezing, use a freezer-safe bag separating layers with parchment paper, lasting up to three months.
