Prepare the Chicken

Start by preparing the chicken breasts. If they are thick, you can slice them horizontally to make them thinner or pound them to an even thickness. This ensures they cook evenly and quickly.

Bread the Chicken

Set up your breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour seasoned with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. In the second dish, beat an egg. In the third dish, place the breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken cutlet first in flour, then dip it in egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs.

Fry the Cutlets

Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the chicken cutlets for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

⭐️ Nutrition facts:

Breaded fried chicken cutlets are a source of high-quality protein. They also contain some carbohydrates from the breading and fats from the frying process. However, frying adds extra calories and fats, making it a less healthy cooking method compared to baking or grilling.
