1
Prepare the Chicken
Start by placing the boneless chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.
2
Season the Chicken
Sprinkle both sides of the pounded chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the seasonings.
3
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, the beaten egg in the second bowl, and the breadcrumbs in the third bowl.
4
Bread the Chicken
Take a seasoned chicken breast, dredge it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.
5
Cook the Chicken Cutlets
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken cutlets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
6
Drain and Serve
Once cooked, transfer the chicken cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
