Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 pieces Fresh lemon wedges
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or in a large resealable bag. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, ground black pepper, and paprika.
In another bowl, beat the eggs with the low-fat milk until well combined.
Place the unsalted breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing them onto the chicken.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for added flavor.
