Equipment

  • Three shallow dishes or bowls
  • Cutting Board and knife
  • Meat Mallet or Rolling Pin
  • Skillet Or Frying Pan
  • Tongs or spatula
  • Paper Towel

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • All-purpose flour to coat
  • Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning dried
  • 2 large eggs
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions
 

  • Remove the excess fat and horizontally cut the chicken breast into two pieces. Place the cut chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
  • Use a plain side of a meat mallet to pound to even thickness, around ¼ inch thick.
  • Season the pounded chicken with salt and ground pepper from both sides.
  • Preheat the vegetable oil in an oil fryer or a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • For the breaded mixture, take three shallow dishes or bowls. In dish 1, take all-purpose flour; in dish 2, beat eggs; and in dish 3, a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Take each seasoned chicken slice in flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip the floured-coated chicken in a beaten egg.
  • Now coat the chicken breast evenly in the breadcrumbs mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Repeat the process for the same slice if you want a thicker, crispy coating.
  • Once the oil is heated to 350-375°F, carefully place the breaded chicken in the skillet and fry it for 2-3 minutes until golden brown or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken cutlet to a plate lined with a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
  • Now, serve the crispy chicken cutlet hot, along with lemon wedges over the top.
