Crispy Italian Chicken Cutlets: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 31 minute

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 tablespoon dried oregano
– 1 tablespoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Olive oil, for frying
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish, optional)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Italian Chicken Cutlets is a simple process if you follow these straightforward steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three shallow dishes, place flour in the first, whisked eggs in the second, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat enough olive oil over medium heat to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken cutlets. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired.

These simple steps lead to a delicious result that you and your loved ones will enjoy!
