·

Tender chicken, crispy parmesan-y outside... perfect for pasta, sandwiches, chicken parmesan, & more! This Crispy Parmesan Chicken Cutlets Recipe is my favorite last-minute dinner for when you're craving something cozy and effortless.

How to Make Crispy Chicken Cutlets:

  1. Slice your chicken breasts in half lengthwise, or thinly slice into 2-3 pieces (depending on how thick the chicken is).
  2. Use a meat hammer to tenderize the chicken and pound to about 1/4" thick.
  3. Set up your station with three bowls. In the first bowl, mix the flour and seasonings together. In the second bowl, add the beaten eggs. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, herbs, and grated parmesan.
  4. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mix, then the beaten eggs, then the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
  5. Heat up the cooking olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat to 350F.
  6. Cook for 4-6 minutes on each side, until crispy and golden brown. Remove to drain on a paper towel lined wire rack.
  7. Keep warm in the oven at 250F for up to 1 hour before serving.

TIPS on Keeping Chicken Cutlets Warm & Crispy:

Turn on your oven to 250F. Place the chicken cutlets on a baking wire rack over a baking pan. Place in the oven to keep warm up to 1 hour after frying.

How to Reheat Chicken Cutlets:

Reheat in the oven at 400F for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

My husband ordered this at a restaurant recently and raved about it. I’m making it for dinner tonight…can’t wait. The restaurant served it with garlic caper aioli. Can I prepare the chicken cutlets earlier in the day and refrigerate until I fry them? Thanks for this awesome recipe.Pat Albin

Yes, you can totally prep the chicken in advance whether it be before frying or after frying and reheating in the oven at 350F for 8-12 minutes, flipping halfway through. Hope you enjoyed them!!
