Crispy Herb-Infused Chicken Cutlets: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

To create Crispy Herb-Infused Chicken Cutlets, gather the following ingredients:

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
– 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for frying


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Crispy Herb-Infused Chicken Cutlets:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch using a meat mallet.
2. Set Up Dredging Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour in the first bowl, whisked eggs in the second bowl, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, herbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third bowl.
3. Dredge Chicken: Start by coating each chicken breast in flour, ensuring it’s fully covered. Shake off the excess flour.
4. Dip in Egg: Next, dip the floured chicken in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
5. Coat with Breadcrumbs: Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated and adheres properly.
6. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough olive oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb in; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.
7. Fry Chicken: Carefully place the coated chicken cutlets in the hot oil, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Once you’ve followed these steps, your kitchen will be filled with the incredible aroma of crispy chicken.
