Description
Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, these chicken cutlets are a comforting classic perfect for busy weeknights or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your skillet over medium heat and drizzle in your frying oil.
- Thinly slice the chicken breasts to ensure quick cooking and tender bites.
- Set up your breading station: one plate filled with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and the last with breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each slice of chicken in the flour, dip it in the egg wash, and then coat it evenly with breadcrumbs.
- Once your oil is hot, carefully place each breaded chicken piece in the skillet.
- Fry them until they are golden brown and fully cooked through, roughly 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cutlets to paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve them hot, and watch everyone delight in your homemade creation!
Notes
Feel free to use panko for extra crunch or seasoned breadcrumbs for added flavor. Double-dipping in egg and breadcrumbs can enhance crunchiness.
