Chicken Cutlets
Description
The recipe calls for chicken breasts sliced and pounded to about a quarter inch thickness for even cooking and tenderness. The coating involves a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, shredded Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder, lending a crisp and flavorful crust. The chicken cutlets are dipped in whisked egg, then pressed into the breading mixture before cooking in a hot skillet with vegetable oil.
Cooking takes around 2 to 3 minutes per side until the crust is golden and the chicken reaches a safe internal temperature of 165°F. The result is a crunchy exterior surrounding moist chicken. These cutlets can be enjoyed on their own or alongside salads, vegetables, or in sandwiches.
Leftover cutlets keep well refrigerated for up to three days and can be reheated gently on the stovetop to maintain their crispness.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken cutlet or 2 x 8oz chicken breasts
- 1¼ cups panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 egg
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- If using chicken breasts, freeze for 20 minutes. Remove from the freezer and cut in half horizontally to make 4 thinner cutlets.
- Pound the chicken to ¼ inch thickness.
- Combine panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small shallow dish.
- Whisk the egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken in egg and then in the crumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Gently add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and chicken reaches 165°F.
Notes
- Freeze chicken breasts briefly before slicing to ease cutting thin, even pieces.
- Pound chicken to uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
- Reheat leftover cutlets in a skillet to keep crust crisp and prevent drying out.
