Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Prepare three shallow bowls: In the first, add the flour. In the second, beat the eggs. In the third, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press the cutlet into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and chicken cutlets.
Serve the Parmesan Chicken Cutlets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
