Whether you're preparing them for a family dinner or a special occasion, this guide will help you make crispy, juicy chicken cutlets every time.

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Start by boning and skinning chicken breasts. Then, slice them horizontally into thinner pieces, making them uniform in size.

[{"selector":"#anim-9466f2d0-2086-46c1-b819-37a0d54be8e5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1b465778-305c-4021-b562-6b580f4d2f83","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

This helps the cutlets cook evenly. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness, ensuring tender, juicy results.

Step 2: Season the Chicken In a shallow bowl, season your chicken cutlets with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any other spices you prefer. You can add a bit of lemon juice or mustard for extra flavor. Allow the chicken to marinate for about 15 minutes to absorb the seasoning.

Step 3: Dredge the Chicken Prepare three shallow bowls for the breading process: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

[{"selector":"#anim-9b5f76f3-6e52-4d1e-ba44-5f7f3df9f946","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-b78d154f-06bd-41e1-af42-612760f44da0","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(118.66668%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Dip each chicken cutlet first in flour, then in egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing down gently to ensure a good coating.

[{"selector":"#anim-798f282c-b437-405b-a2ca-0eb319a62226","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.5)","scale(0.95)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Step 4: Fry the Cutlets Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, fry the chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

[{"selector":"#anim-8be60ff0-86e5-49f6-b876-e066e0be1487","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-121.33333%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .8, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4752ca75-b002-451a-ba5c-0d5bcfeca24e","keyframes":{"transform":["rotateZ(-180deg)","rotateZ(0deg)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.2, 0, .5, 1)","fill":"forwards"}]

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Drain the cutlets on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your perfectly crispy chicken cutlets!
