Crispy Garlic Chicken Cutlets image

Adapted from Cook's Illustrated. Over the years, America's Test Kitchen has perfected a method for making crispy chicken cutlets: coat the cutlets in flour, dip in egg wash, then coat with fresh breadcrumbs before pan-frying. But when you add fresh garlic to the mix for more flavor, you also get more problems.Try this recipe, it has it all-mellow, caramelized garlic flavor from the chicken on the inside, and a crispy, garlicky crust on the outside. Look for cutlets that are between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch thick or make your own by slicing 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts in half horizonally.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I made it with some leftover roasted chicken and it turned out great. The chicken was crispy and the sauce was flavorful. I served it with a side of rice and it was a hit with the whole family.
