Breaded chicken cutlets are a delicious and versatile dish enjoyed in various cuisines worldwide, with strong ties to Italian and American traditions. Made by coating thinly sliced chicken breasts in seasoned breadcrumbs and frying or baking until golden brown, this preparation creates a crispy exterior while keeping the chicken tender inside. Common ingredients include chicken, breadcrumbs, eggs, and flour, with optional seasonings like garlic powder, paprika, or parmesan cheese. While rich in protein, breaded chicken cutlets can also be high in calories and fats, particularly when fried. Baking or using whole-grain breadcrumbs can provide a lighter, healthier alternative. Pairing them with fresh vegetables or a salad can enhance nutritional value. This comforting dish is often seen as a centerpiece for family meals and is beloved for its satisfying flavor and texture.
