Description
Delicious crispy chicken cutlets with a golden, crunchy exterior and tender, flavorful meat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
- Start by preparing your chicken. Pound the chicken breasts until they’re about 1/2 inch thick, then season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Set up a dredging station with flour, whisked eggs, and breadcrumbs combined with salt and any desired herbs or cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the egg wash, and finally into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot.
- Carefully add breaded chicken cutlets to the hot oil, frying each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
For extra crunch, consider mixing grated Parmesan with breadcrumbs or use chicken thighs for juiciness. Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
