Ingredients

Scale
  • 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 (for cooking)
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow plates: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for Panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
  3. Lightly coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip in egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coverage.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, add half the olive oil until hot. Cook the breaded chicken cutlets in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Remove from the skillet and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
