- 20 min
Chicken cutlets are a simple and tasty meat main course that everyone at the table will agree on. They are easy to prepare and can be cooked not only in a pan but also in a lighter way, such as baked chicken cutlets. The classic breading involves using flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, but you can also use other alternative breadings, such as in the recipe for chicken breast with corn flakes, for a crunchier coating, or you can add a mixture of herbs. You'll have plenty of choices to accompany your chicken cutlets: French fries, salads, grilled vegetables, etc. With this recipe, you'll be able to bring an irresistible dish to the table that will win everyone over!
Try these variations too:
To prepare the chicken cutlets, first cut the chicken breast into very thin slices (about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick). Crack an egg and pour it into a plate, add the salt 1, and beat vigorously with a fork 2. Place the breadcrumbs and flour in two separate plates. Dip both sides of the slices in the egg 3, letting the excess drip off.
Then pass them in the flour 4, again in the egg 5, and then in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make it adhere well 6. Ensure that these steps fully cover the chicken breast slices with the ingredients.
Heat the peanut oil to a temperature of about 320°F. Immerse the slices one at a time 7 and cook for two minutes on each side until the surface becomes golden 9. The chicken cutlets are ready, serve them with lemon wedges and some lettuce leaves.
