Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Season Chicken

    Sprinkle both sides of the chicken with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

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

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil. Slice and serve hot.
