Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian style)
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon dried basil
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 2 large eggs
– 2 tablespoons milk
– Olive oil (for frying)


Instructions

Creating Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets is a straightforward and delightful process. Follow these steps for amazing results:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound them to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In one shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. In another dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it adheres well.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Cook the Cutlets: Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the other side. Ensure both sides are crispy and cooked through.
6. Draining Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Serve Hot: These cutlets are best enjoyed fresh off the skillet.

By adhering to these steps, you’ll create irresistible Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets that will leave you wanting more!
