- Working with 1 chicken cutlet at a time, coat the chicken in the flour on both sides and shake off the excess. Then, dip the chicken in the whisked egg and let the excess drip off. Finally, coat the chicken with the seasoned panko breadcrumbs on both sides. Use your hands to press the crumbs into the chicken to ensure it sticks.
