Chicken Cutlets Recipe

Prepare the Chicken

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Set Up Breading Station

Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of bread crumbs and grated parmesan cheese.

Bread the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Cook the Cutlets

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Drain and Serve

Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm with a fresh green salad drizzled with lemon vinaigrette.
