Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Gluten-free bread crumbs
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 4 Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the chicken. Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, spread the gluten-free bread crumbs for the final coating.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 7

Press the chicken into the gluten-free bread crumbs, making sure each piece is well-coated on both sides.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet. Cook for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free breaded chicken cutlets with lemon wedges on the side for a refreshing, zesty garnish.
