Crispy Chicken Cutlets Recipe – Perfect for Quick Weeknight Dinners and Comfort Food Lovers

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ingredients

2 large chicken breasts (a popular choice for healthy chicken recipes)

1 ΒΌ cups panko bread crumbs (for a light, crispy texture in your breaded chicken cutlets)

ΒΌ cup parmesan cheese, grated (adds rich flavor to your breaded chicken)

1 teaspoon garlic powder (classic seasoning for fried chicken)

1 egg (for the perfect egg wash when making crispy chicken)

Salt & pepper to taste (essential for balanced fried chicken flavor)

β…“ cup vegetable oil (great for pan-frying chicken)

Instructions:

1. Freeze chicken breasts for about 20 minutes or so (this helps achieve the perfect texture for your chicken cutlets).

2. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and pound to ¼” thickness. (For evenly cooked crispy fried chicken cutlets).

3. Combine panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and garlic powder in a small shallow dish (this creates a crispy coating for your chicken cutlets).

4. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. Dip chicken in the egg wash, then coat in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere. (The egg wash technique ensures the crumbs stick perfectly).

 

Cooking Process:

1. Preheat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. (Vegetable oil frying creates a crispy, golden exterior on the chicken).

2. Gently add chicken to the skillet and cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and chicken reaches 165Β°F (ensuring perfectly crispy chicken every time).
