Chicken cutlets are thinly sliced portions of chicken breast, often pounded flat for even cooking. This versatile dish is a staple in many cuisines, including Italian, American, and Mediterranean, and can be prepared breaded, grilled, or pan-seared. Breaded versions typically involve coating the chicken in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then frying, while lighter preparations may use olive oil and seasonings. Chicken cutlets are high in protein, making them an excellent choice for muscle repair and satiety. They are low in fat if prepared without heavy oils or breading. However, fried breaded versions may contain higher calories and unhealthy fats. Pairing chicken cutlets with fresh vegetables or whole grains can make for a balanced meal. This dish’s adaptability makes it a favorite for quick, nutritious dinners or as a base for more elaborate recipes.
