Ingredients
  

Chicken Cutlets
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
Breading Mixture
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably panko for extra crispiness
  • 1 teaspoon salt to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder optional

Prepare Chicken
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
Set Up Breading Station
  1. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder.
Bread the Chicken
  1. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess.
  2. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  3. Coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Fry the Chicken
  1. In a large frying pan, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Once hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Remove from the pan and drain on paper towels.
Serve
