Perfect Italian Chicken Cutlet

Buddy's standard recipe for breaded chicken Italian style.

Ingredients

  • Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/4 c. grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 c. flour
  • 3 large eggs, beaten
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 c. olive oil
  • lemon wedges
  • Bread Crumbs:
  • 2 c. plain bread crumbs
  • 1 c. finely grated romano cheese (or 4 cheese italian blend)
  • 2 cloves garlic, pressed
  • 2 T. Italian seasoning
  • 3 T. dried parsley
  • 1/2 T. salt

Directions

  1. Combine all ingredients for bread crumbs. A food processor works well. Set aside for dredging station.
  2. Heat the oil in a frying pan to 350°. Trim and butterfly chicken breasts. Cover with plastic wrap and pound each piece to about 1/4" thick. Set up a dredging station with flour, eggs with parmesan cheese, and bread crumbs. Coat the chicken with flour, then egg and parmesan, then bread crumbs. Place on a plate and allow the bread crumbs to soak in and stick to the chicken.
  3. Cook the chicken in the oil for a few minutes on each side until golden brown. Drain and keep warm in a 300° oven until all are cooked. Serve with lemon wedges and pasta and sauce if desired.
