Instructions

Add panko to one bowl, flour to one bowl, eggs to one bowl, and milk to one bowl.
Dip chicken in milk, then flour, coating well.
Dredge in egg after flour, and finish in panko breadcrumbs.
Shake off excess.
Add oil to nonstick pan, preferably one with a deep lip to prevent splattering.
When oil is hot, add breaded cutlets.
Fry 4-5 minutes, until crispy golden brown on one side.
Flip chicken using long handled tongs.
Fry additional 2-5 minutes until chicken is 165 degrees internal temperature and golden brown.
Serve immediately with lemon slices, fresh diced green onion, and spaetzle!
