Step 1: Prep the Chicken Start by selecting boneless chicken breasts. Use a sharp knife to slice them into thin pieces, about 1/2 inch thick. You can also gently pound the chicken with a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.

Step 2: Season the Chicken In a shallow dish, season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any herbs you like. For extra flavor, marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes.

Step 3: Prepare the Breading Station Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch).

Coat each chicken piece in flour, dip it in the egg, and then press it into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

Step 4: Fry the Cutlets Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the chicken cutlets and fry them for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy Drain the cooked cutlets on paper towels and serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy your crispy, juicy chicken cutlets with a squeeze of lemon or a dipping sauce for extra flavor!
