Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup cooking oil

Method
 

  1. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create 4 thin cutlets.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the egg until smooth.
  5. Dredge each seasoned chicken cutlet first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and fry chicken cutlets for 3-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Serve immediately topped with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Notes

- For extra crispy chicken, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying; cook in batches if necessary.
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a perfect crust.
- Serve immediately with a side of pasta or a fresh salad.
