Instructions

Pound the chicken slices with a meat mallet if necessary. Take 3 shallow bowls.
In the first bowl, beat the eggs and in the second bowl place the flour.
In a the last bowl combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt and pepper and mix well.
So you have 3 bowls in total - eggs, flour and the breadcrumbs.
Salt and pepper the chicken slice on both sides.
Flour the chicken slice making sure the flour sticks well on all sides, it will help the egg to stick better.
Then dip the chicken in the egg mixture, and then dip it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing well so that the breadcrumbs stick together. The breading should cover the chicken slices well.
Proceed in this way for all the chicken slices.
In a large skillet pour the olive oil and heat the oil for 2-3 minutes. To tell if the oil has reached the perfect temperature drop a little bit of crumb into the pan, if it starts to fry you have reached the perfect temperature.
NB: The oil should reach about halfway up the side of the chicken.
Now fry the cutlets for 2-3 minutes on each side at medium heat. Place the cutlets in paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
Your delicious cutlets are ready! Serve them hot with a squeeze of lemon juice, accompanied by your favorite side dish

Notes

If you have time, let the cutlets rest in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour before cooking them. This helps with a crispier breadcrumbs.
Marinating in milk will help soften the slices, which will melt in your mouth.
To give more flavor to these cutlets you can add fresh garlic or garlic powder.
