Breaded chicken cutlet is a popular dish enjoyed across various cuisines, especially Italian and American. It typically consists of a boneless, skinless chicken breast that has been pounded thin, coated in a layer of flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs, then pan-fried, baked, or deep-fried until golden and crispy. The breadcrumb coating gives it a satisfying crunch, while the tender chicken inside provides a lean protein source. While chicken itself is a nutritious, low-fat protein, this preparation can be calorie-dense due to frying and the added breading. Some variations may include seasoning in the breading or dipping sauces, which might increase sodium or fat content. For a healthier option, the cutlet can be baked instead of fried or made with whole-grain breadcrumbs. Breaded chicken cutlet is versatile, often served as a main dish, in sandwiches, or atop salads, making it beloved worldwide.
