Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
