Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Place the flour in a shallow dish.
In a second dish, beat the eggs with milk to create an egg wash.
In a third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the flour-coated chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely covered.
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. The oil should shimmer when hot.
Fry the chicken cutlets in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan, for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Place the cooked cutlets on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the chicken cutlets hot with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top before eating.
