How make Chicken cutlet
Chicken cutlets are a simple and delicious dish:
### Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- 1/4 cup milk (optional)
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil or butter for frying
- Lemon wedges for serving (optional)
### Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Chicken:**
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to about 1/4-inch thickness.
- Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
2. **Set Up the Breading Station:**
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and add a splash of milk if desired.
- In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese if using.
3. **Bread the Chicken:**
- Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Press the chicken into the breadcrumbs, making sure it's well covered on both sides.
4. **Cook the Chicken:**
- Heat the olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken cutlets from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. **Serve:**
- Serve the chicken cutlets hot with lemon wedges on the side. They pair well with a salad, vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
