Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast cutlets
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1.5 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 cup Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breast cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs with water until well combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and paprika.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured cutlet into the beaten egg mixture, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 7

Press the cutlet into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.

Step 8

Place the breaded cutlets on a plate or tray and let them rest for 5 minutes to set the coating.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken cutlets.

Step 10

Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the cutlets are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Step 11

Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 12

Serve hot with your choice of sides or on a sandwich.
