Fried Chicken Cutlets Recipe
An easy, versatile chicken cutlet recipe that works well with pasta, salads, sandwiches and more. Perfect any day of the week!
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts boneless, skinless
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- oil as needed for frying
I always use Kosher salt in my kitchen! If using table salt, start with half the amount and adjust to taste, as it is much "saltier" by volume.
Instructions
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Place each piece on a chicken board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound to an even thickness.
- In a small bowl mix together 1 teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and ½ teaspoon of garlic powder. Season the chicken on both sides with the spice mixture.
- In a bowl (or pie dish) mix together the eggs and water to make the egg wash. In a separate bowl mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and all of the remaining herbs and spices. Place the flour in a separate bowl.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg wash and firmly press into the breadcrumbs. Making sure to coat each piece evenly.
- In a large skillet heat 1 inch of vegetable oil or canola oil over medium-high heat. Begin cooking the chicken. Cook on each side for 4-6 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Place on a cooling rack. Repeat until all of the chicken is done. Enjoy!
