Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup unsalted bread crumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
Prepare a breading station with three shallow plates. In the first plate, add the flour. In the second plate, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third plate, mix the bread crumbs, grated parmesan cheese, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip them into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, before pressing them into the crumb mixture to coat both sides evenly.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl the pan to combine and coat the surface.
Step 5
Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, place the breaded chicken cutlets in the skillet. Cook the cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 6
Place cooked cutlets on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
Step 7
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes.
