Ingredients:

8 chicken breasts
1160g
1 cup whole-grain wheat flour
120g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/4 tsp black pepper
0.52g
2 eggs
110g
2 tbsp water
30g
1 cup bread crumbs
120g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
2 tbsp salted butter
27g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g

Instructions:

1. Preparation:
- Start by prepping your chicken breasts. If they're particularly thick, consider slicing them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This helps them cook more evenly and quicker.
2. Set Up Breading Station:
- Grab three shallow bowls or plates.
- In the first bowl, add the whole-grain wheat flour, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
- In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and 2 tablespoons of water until well combined.
- In the third bowl, mix the bread crumbs with the grated parmesan cheese.
3. Coat the Chicken:
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.
- Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure it is completely covered with the egg wash.
- Finally, press the chicken breast into the bread crumb and parmesan mixture, patting it firmly to adhere the crumbs to the chicken. Ensure a good, even coating.
4. Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot and sizzling.
- Add the breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet. Ensure not to overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook each cutlet for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F or 74°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy.
- Place cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
5. Serve:
- Serve the Parmesan chicken cutlets hot, garnished with additional grated parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs if desired.
- These cutlets pair wonderfully with a side of vegetables, a fresh salad, or pasta.

Tips:

- For even cooking, try to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before starting the breading process.

- Ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken to prevent the cutlets from becoming greasy.

- Let the breaded chicken rest for a few minutes before frying. This helps the coating adhere better and results in a crispier texture.

- Feel free to mix herbs like thyme or parsley into the bread crumb mixture for added flavor.

- Serve the Parmesan chicken cutlets with a wedge of lemon for a fresh, tangy complement.

There you have it – a simple yet delicious recipe for Parmesan chicken cutlets!
