Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Step 2
Prepare three shallow bowls: In the first, add the flour. In the second, beat the eggs. In the third, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off excess. Then dip it in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press the cutlet into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Step 4
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 2 chicken cutlets and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and chicken cutlets.
Step 5
Serve the Parmesan Chicken Cutlets immediately with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, zesty finish.
