Breaded Chicken Cutlets With Lemon Butter
Report
Super quick breaded chicken cutlets fried in a lemon butter sauce. These crispy cutlets are made without any egg or flour making them so quick and easy to whip up.

Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup (140g) fine breadcrumbs ,such as panko
- olive oil for frying
- 1 knob butter
- 1 Squeeze of lemon juice
- salt and pepper to season
Instructions
- First, you need to bash your chicken breasts out thin or use pre-cut chicken cutlets from the supermarket for ease if they're available.
- To bash the chicken, place one breast in between two pieces of cling film and beat it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until thin (around 1/4inch thick)
- Add the breadcrumbs to a large plate and season with a good pinch f salt and pepper. Press each side of the chicken into the breadcrumbs firmly 2-3 times, repeat with all the cutlets.
- Heat a good glug of olive oil in a large frying pan and when hot add the chicken cutlets. Once crispy and golden on one side turn them over and squeeze over lemon juice then add a knob of butter.
- Continue to fry the cutlets until crispy and golden on both sides, remove and sit on kitchen paper or a draining rack for a couple seconds. Sprinkle with an extra pinch of salt.
- Serve hot with salad or your favourite sides.
Notes
- Drain the chicken on kitchen paper - after frying make sure to drain the cutlets on paper towels so they soak up any excess oil.
- What to do with leftovers - leftovers can be eaten cold or reheated in a hot oven or in a skillet until hot. Use them up in salads or sandwiches, they're delicious on a focaccia with grilled veggies and pesto!
- Storage - leftovers will keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days or can be frozen.
- Freezing - the cutlets can be reheated from frozen. Lay them on a baking tray, pre-heat the oven to 200C (400F) and bake for 15-20 minutes until piping hot all the way through.
