Cooking Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cutlets

    If using chicken breasts, slice them horizontally to create thinner cutlets. For beef, you can use flank steak or sirloin, pounded thin to about 1/4 inch thickness.

  2. 2

    Season the Cutlets

    In a bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Sprinkle the seasoning mix evenly over both sides of the cutlets.

Breading Process

  1. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt in the third.

  2. 4

    Bread the Cutlets

    Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Heat the Oil

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

  2. 6

    Fry the Cutlets

    Carefully place the breaded cutlets in the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan; fry in batches if necessary.

  3. 7

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the cooked cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve immediately with lemon wedges or your favorite side dishes.
