Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts - boneless, skinless
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 2 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
salt and black pepper, to taste
Olive oil - for frying
Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts between plastic wrap or in a zip-top bag and then gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness.
- Remove them and then add salt and pepper.
- Create a breading station with the whisked eggs in one dish and the flour in another.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, and onion powder in a third shallow dish. Stir to combine.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the coated chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, and then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the breaded chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
- Serve hot with lemon wedges for a zesty touch.
- Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley on top for added flavor.
