The Best Chicken Cutlets

From the recipe collection of Tara Ippolito

If you're looking for the best chicken cutlets this recipe is for you!

I’ve been making these for years and truly feel like I’ve found the perfect combination of all the ingredients.

A great chicken cutlet needs to be thin, well-seasoned, and perfectly cooked to a crispy golden brown.

I can teach you how to hit all of those marks and make the best chicken cutlets ever.

My family goes crazy for these every time I make them, which has recently turned into once a week. My kids ask for this all of the time and I can't blame them.

This is a great recipe to have because chicken cutlets can be uses in so many ways. Eat them alone, on a sandwich, make them into chicken parm or top a salad with them. The possibilities are endless.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you'll love it just as much as my family and I do.

The Best Chicken Cutlets Variations

I like this recipe for chicken cutlets made just the way it is but here are some ways to change it up if you'd like to.

• Chicken- If you cant find the thinly sliced chicken breast at your grocery store, but regular chicken breast and pound it thin.
• Breadcrumbs- Use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, Panko or a mixture of both.
• Flour- Some people swear by lightly flouring the chicken before the egg and breadcrumbs. I don't find that it makes much of a difference so I omitted the extra step over the years. If you'd like to give it a try, go for it.

The Best Chicken Cutlet Ingredients:

• Thinly Sliced Chicken Breast
• Salt And Pepper To Taste
• Garlic Powder
• Eggs
• Milk
• Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
• Canola/ Vegetable oil

Instructions:

First, season your chicken breast on both sides with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Now, in a shallow bowl, beat together the eggs and the milk.

Then, in a separate shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs.

Next, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to run off back into the bowl.

Now, place the chicken into the breadcrumbs and fully coat it on both sides.

Then, heat the oil in a large skillet and fry the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Once you see the sides of the chicken start to brown, that means they’re ready to flip.

Once the chicken cutlets are cooked through and golden brown on both sides, drain them on a wire rack or paper towels.

Finally, lightly salt them, serve warm and enoy!
