Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts Tenderized and seasoned
  • 1 cup Flour For dredging
  • 2 large Eggs Whisked
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably seasoned) For coating
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese To mix with breadcrumbs
  • to taste Salt For seasoning
  • to taste Pepper For seasoning
  • as needed cup Oil for frying For frying the chicken
  • optional Fresh herbs for garnish For presentation

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by placing your chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness.
  2. Season the flattened chicken with salt and pepper, ensuring all sides are well-covered.
  3. Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, whisked eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third.
Breading and Frying
  1. Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down lightly to ensure adherence.
  2. In a large skillet, heat enough oil over medium heat to cover the bottom. Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the oil.
  3. Fry each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. A meat thermometer should read 165°F.
  4. Transfer the cooked chicken onto paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.

Notes

Best served with a side salad, creamy mashed potatoes, or garlic bread. Drizzle with herb sauce or lemon butter for added flavor. To store leftovers, use an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
