Ingredients

Directions

Step 1: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally and pound them to an even quarter-inch thickness.

Step 2: Set out three shallow dishes with seasoned flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs mixed with the Parmesan.

Step 3: Coat each cutlet in flour, then egg, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4: Heat a quarter inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until it shimmers.

Step 5: Fry the cutlets 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden and cooked through, working in batches.

Step 6: Drain briefly on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

Chef's Tip: Pound the cutlets to an even thickness so they cook through before the crust has a chance to darken.

Save by using one package of breasts sliced into cutlets stretches much further than whole ones and Serve with a lemony arugula salad or buttered pasta.
