Equipment
- Bowls and Pan
Ingredients
- Vegetable oil
- 1 large egg
- Salt to taste
- 4 tbsp Parmesan cheese shredded
- 2 chicken breasts boneless
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Lemon wedges & Freshly chopped parsley for serving
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions
- Gather all the necessary ingredients and prepare them. Crack the egg into a bowl, mix parmesan cheese with salt, black garlic powder, black pepper, and flour in one bowl, and set aside. Place the breadcrumbs in another.
- Take one of the boneless chicken breasts and cut it into 4 or 6 pieces depending on the desired size. Put the cut pieces of chicken in the bowl with the whisked eggs and coat them evenly.
- Take one piece of chicken from the egg mixture, then dip it into the parmesan cheese mixture and breadcrumbs, coating each side evenly. Place onto a plate until ready to fry.
- Heat up some vegetable oil in a pan on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the cutlets in the pan and cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Once cooked, remove from the pan and let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Use a nonstick skillet to fry the cutlets for best results.
- To make sure the cutlets are cooked properly, use a cooking thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 165F.
- If you want to make the dish lower in fat, try baking or air-frying the cutlets instead.
- For extra flavor, add some herbs such as parsley or thyme to the egg and cheese coating.
