Preparation

Prepare the Chicken
If using raw chicken, season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dip each cutlet into flour, then into beaten eggs, and finally coat them with breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and fry the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
