Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
- lemon wedges to serve, optional
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have two thin cutlets. Pound chicken evenly until it is about ¼-½ inch thick.
- Combine bread crumbs, parmesan, parsley, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in a separate shallow dish.
- Dredge chicken in the egg (letting the excess drip off). Evenly coat both sides. Coat evenly in breadcrumbs, pressing the chicken into the mixture for full coverage.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium-high until hot. Fry two chicken cutlets at a time on both sides for about 2–3 minutes each until golden and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.
- When cooked, place chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil while chicken rests. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a lemon wedge.
