Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.25 lb boneless chicken breasts Choose thin-cut breasts for quicker cooking.
- 1 cup all-purpose flour Use whole wheat flour for a healthier option.
- 2 large eggs Beaten eggs help the coating adhere.
- 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs For extra crunch, toasting prior is optional.
- 1 tbsp salt Adjust to taste.
- 0.5 tbsp black pepper Freshly ground for better flavor.
- 0.5 tbsp paprika Adds color and a smoky flavor.
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil For frying.
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one for flour mixed with salt and pepper, one for beaten eggs, and one for panko breadcrumbs mixed with paprika.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
- Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in eggs, and finish with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the chicken cutlets. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve hot, garnished with lemon wedges if desired.
Notes
Serve with a side of mashed potatoes for a complete meal, or add a fresh salad for brightness.
