One thing about me is I love an easy chicken cutlet recipe! I feel like I really have perfected mine and I’m so excite to share it with you! I feel like making cutlets can seems so daunting but once you get the hang of it, you really will never look back!
To make these cutlets, I like to use my electric fryer. I feel like it helps to make the process faster as you can fit more in it than just a pan on the stove. You can shop the exact electric fryer I have here! (this is an affiliate link so I make a small commission if you choose to purchase)
Ingredients
- 2-3 boneless skinless chicken breast
- at least 4 cups italian bread crumbs
- 5 eggs cracked and scrambled
- vegetable oil (enough to coat the bottom of you pan)
Directions
- Start by thinly slicing your chicken breast. I’ve found holding the chicken with one hand on top and using the knife sideways makes it easy and provides the thinest cutlets! Keep doing this until all your chicken breast are cut.
- Put your bread crumbs on either plate with sides or a low bowl then scramble the eggs and place them in another bowl with a little warm water.
- Warm you pan or electric fryer with enough oil to coat the bottom of it!
- Place your thinly sliced chicken in the egg and flip it over then place it in the bread crumbs and flip it over. Once that process is done you are ready to fry!
- Place breaded chicken in pan and let it sit until one side is golden brown then flip. Repeat the process until you have finished all the chicken!
- Let cooked cutlets sit on a paper towel lined plate to rest and enjoy!
I hope you enjoyed this yummy chicken cutlet recipe! I love to pair mine with couscous and green beans for an easy week night meal or make them with mozzarella and tomato sauce for chicken parm! You can also make them and freeze them so you have them on hand at all times!
