Ingredients

Instructions

0 of 5 done
  1. Cut and pound chicken breasts

  2. Step 1

    Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally so you have two thin cutlets. Pound chicken evenly until it is about ¼-½ inch thick.

  3. Prepare egg and breadcrumbs

  4. Step 2

    Combine bread crumbs, parmesan, parsley, and garlic powder in a shallow dish. Whisk eggs in a separate shallow dish.

  5. Coat chicken in egg and breadcrumbs

  6. Step 3

    Dredge chicken in the egg (letting the excess drip off). Evenly coat both sides. Coat evenly in breadcrumbs, pressing the chicken into the mixture for full coverage.

  7. Pan fry chicken

  8. Step 4

    Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium-high until hot. Fry two chicken cutlets at a time on both sides for about 2–3 minutes each until golden and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165°F.

  9. Serve

  10. Step 5

    When cooked, place chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil while chicken rests. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a lemon wedge.
