5-Ingredient Chicken Cutlets (Crazy Easy)
Description
The recipe begins by slicing large chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pounding them to about 1/3-inch thickness to ensure even and quick cooking. The breadcrumb mixture combines grated Parmesan cheese, panko crumbs, and garlic parsley salt to add flavor and crunch. Chicken pieces are dipped in whisked eggs before coating with the breadcrumb mixture for a cohesive crust.
The cutlets are pan-fried in oil over medium heat, cooking approximately 3 minutes on each side until reaching a safe internal temperature. This technique ensures a crispy golden exterior while maintaining juicy chicken inside. The recipe’s limited ingredients focus on a straightforward preparation that emphasizes texture and subtle seasoning.
These cutlets can be paired with simple sides or used in sandwiches to add protein with a crispy element. They can also work well atop pasta or rice dishes, providing a mild, savory presence. The garlic parsley salt in the breadcrumb blend offers a mild herb and garlic flavor without overpowering the chicken.
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breast about 1.5 lbs, large
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 1/2 cups panko crumbs
- 1/2 tbsp garlic parsley salt adjust to taste
- 2 egg
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Using a meat tenderizer, pound the chicken breasts until each one is about 1/3-inch thick.
- On a large plate, combine the parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, and garlic parsley salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together until smooth.
- Dip the chicken into the whisked eggs, followed by a dunk in the breadcrumbs.
- Preheat a skillet with oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets on each side for about 3 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Enjoy over pasta, rice, or sandwiched between two pieces of bread with your favorite toppings!
