Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Notes
- For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
- You can also serve the cutlets with a squeeze of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce for added flavor.
- If you prefer, you can skip the oven step and cook the chicken entirely in the skillet, though baking helps to ensure they are fully cooked.
