Chicken cutlets
About this Recipe
Chicken cutlets are definitely one of kids favorite dish. My nonna/grandmother used to make it for me and my brothers all the time. It was one of our favorite, of course who doesn’t like fried! My nonno/grandpa used to say “fritte sono buone anche le scarpe/ even shoes are good when are deep fried”.
This recipe is very simple and basic, I used chicken but you can use turkey, veal or the kind of meat that you like. What I usually do I buy the package of chicken breast and when I go home I cut it in slices with a good knife. If you are not confident enough with the knife, freeze the breast for 1 hour, it will be more easy to cut it after.
Ingredients
- 600 grams of Chicken breast cutlets
- 2 eggs
- Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese
- Salt
- Lemon
- OIL to fry I used Canola
- A sprinkle of love
Method
After you cut out your slices from the breast get your station ready. In a large plate put the eggs, add the salt and the Parmesan and beat quickly for few minutes. Put the breadcrumbs in a flat plate. Get your working station ready putting the chicken breast in your left side, then the eggs, the breadcrumbs and a clean plate to put your breaded slices.
Get a slices of chicken deep it in the eggs in the both side and right away in the breadcrumbs. When the slice is in the breadcrumbs with your hand give it few punch, it will help the slice to be nice and flat, it will be more easy to cook it and it will cook evenly.
Put the chicken breast breaded in a plate and start to fry them for few minutes both sides, in a very hot oil. When they are ready put them in a serving plate cover with paper towel, it will help to dry out some oil.
You can serve them with a nice salad, potato, tomato salad or any kind of vegetable! I always serve them with a slice of lemon too.
Suggestion: make a big batch they are very delicious the day after too. Thank you for reading this and I hope you will challenge your self to make this easy dish.
