4 6-8 ounce boneless, skinless, chicken breast (made into cutlets, trimmed)
Salt and Pepper
¾ cup Vegetable Oil
Lemon wedges
1 ½ cups Panko
½ cup Parmesan
¾ cup All-Purpose Flour
½ teaspoon Paprika
2 Large Eggs
1 clove Garlic (minced)

Steps:

  • Pull chicken out of the fridge, and allow to come to room temp, for 15-20 minutes. Cover chicken with plastic wrap and pound to even thickness of ½ an inch. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to achieve this.
  • Remove plastic, pat chicken dry with paper towels, and liberally season with salt and pepper.
  • Take three pie plates, or shallow dishes, place Panko bread crumbs and parmesan in one, flour and paprika in another, and break eggs into the other one with garlic. Use a fork to mix together panko and parmesan, flour and paprika, then use the same fork to whisk eggs and garlic together until frothy.
  • Working with one cutlet at a time, dredge in flour, shake off excess.
  • Then dredge in eggs, and allow excess to drip off.
  • Then dredge in panko crumbs, press gently to make sure crumbs adhere.

  • Let chicken sit for 5 minutes to allow the coating to dry.
  • Meanwhile, in a 12 inch non-stick skillet, over medium-high heat, add oil, and heat until shimmering. You should have enough oil to go half way up the chicken breast cutlets in your pan, add or reduce oil as needed based on the pan you use.
  • Cook cutlets in the oil 2 at a time, cooking until golden brown on one side, about 2-3 minutes. Then flip cutlets, reduce heat to medium, and cook until cutlets are a deep golden brown, and crisp. About 2 ½ -3 minutes longer.
  • Use an instant read thermometer to ensure cutlets are cooked to 165 degrees internal temperature.
  • Remove chicken cutlets from oil, and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Repeat process with remaining chicken cutlets.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.

THE BEST CHICKEN CUTLETS



The Best Chicken Cutlets image

When we set out to create the best cutlets, we sought perfectly tender chicken that was flavorful and juicy -- not tasteless and dry -- with a crisp, breaded exterior that stayed put and didn't get soggy. After trying different methods, we found that a mix of panko and Pecorino Romano creates the salty, crunchy crust we crave, while dried spices in both the flour and breadcrumb mixtures ensure that our cutlets are never bland.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces. (They should look like large chicken tenders.) Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if using, in a shallow dish.
  • Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
  • Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 4 batches in total.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
