Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken cutlets
  • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 4 tbsp olive oil to cook the chicken
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Season your chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  • Prepare your station: use 3 shallow plates, one with the flour, the second with the beaten eggs; in the third one, mix the bread crumbs with parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
  • Start by lightly coating the chicken cutlets with the flour, then dip them into the beaten egg. Next, dip into the bread crumb mixture to evenly coat on both sides.
  • Preheat half of the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken cutlets in 3-4 batches, until cooked through and golden brown.
  • Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storing: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
  • Reheating: Reheat individual pieces in the microwave on high power in 15 to 30-second intervals until hot. Alternatively, place on a foil-lined sheet pan and bake at 375ºF until hot and crispy, about 10 to 15 minutes.
