Ingredients
- Breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves raw garlic
- Salt
- Pepper
- Grated parmesan cheese
- Freshly chopped parsley
- Italian seasoning
- 3 eggs
- Lots of grated cheese
- Water
- All-purpose flour
- Thinly sliced chicken breast
- Extra virgin olive oil
Step 1: Prepare the Breadcrumb Mixture
In a medium shallow dish, add the breadcrumbs.
Grate two cloves of raw garlic into the breadcrumbs.
Season with salt and pepper.
Add a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese, freshly chopped parsley, and Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture.
Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture and Flour
In another dish, crack three eggs and season with salt and pepper.
Add a lot of grated cheese and a little bit of water to the eggs, then whisk everything together.
In a third bowl, pour in some all-purpose flour and season with salt and pepper, mixing it to combine.
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
Take thinly sliced chicken breasts and cover each piece with plastic wrap.
Pound the chicken breasts until they are nice and thin.
Season each piece of chicken liberally with salt and pepper on one side, then stack them to allow the seasoning to transfer.
Step 4: Bread the Chicken
Using one hand, dredge a piece of chicken in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.
Use the other hand to dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture.
Return to the first hand to coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
Let the breaded chicken sit for about 30 minutes to help the coating stick.
Step 5: Cook the Chicken
Heat plenty of extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the chicken in batches, starting with one side until golden brown.
Flip the chicken and cook on the other side until golden brown as well.
Step 6: Finishing Touches and Serve
Once cooked, drain the chicken cutlets on a rack or paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the chicken cutlets as desired, whether with a side salad, pasta, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Enjoy!
