Share:
Ingredients
- 3 cups homemade breadcrumbs or panko
- 3 cloves garlic finely minced or grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian flat leaf parsley finely minced
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning optional
- 1 ¼ cup finely grated pecorino Romano or parmesan cheese (or both) divided
- kosher salt to taste
- freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts thinly sliced
- extra virgin olive oil for frying
Notes
- *When breading, I try to designate one hand for touching only dry things, like flour and breadcrumbs, and one hand for touching only wet, like the raw chicken and eggs. This prevents you from breading your fingers in the process.
- Serve as is with a squeeze of lemon, with a tomato arugula salad, or smother with marinara and mozzarella to make chicken parm. This procedure also works equally as well with veal and pork.
- Leftovers can be stored, wrapped tightly, in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
- If you have leftover breadcrumbs, freeze them in a zip-top bag and use them again the next time you make chicken cutlets!
