Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 cups Gluten-free panko bread crumbs
- 1 cup Vegetable oil
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until smooth.
Place the gluten-free panko bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the panko breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully place the chicken cutlets into the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid crowding. Fry each cutlet for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried chicken cutlets hot with your choice of dipping sauce or side dishes.
