Pan fried breaded italian chicken cutlets




This recipe is super easy and super versatile. You can serve this chicken with mashed potatoes and corn, on a bun with melted parm and marinara, or over pasta. It's always popular with kids, which is important for a family dinner.

Ingredients:

Thinly sliced chicken breast
1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil



Instructions:

1. Heat your oil in a skillet or pan over a medium to high flame.

2. Mix the cheese, bread crumbs, and salt & pepper together. (Note* I used plain bread crumbs and added my own blend if Italian seasoning)


3. Drench each breast in whisked eggs, then coat heavily in breading mixture. (Note* it's is always a good idea to rinse your chicken with water before preparing it)


4. Fry in oil over a low to medium flame till brown on each side, then remove chicken and place on a plate with paper towels to absorb the excess oil.


5. Customize with whatever sides you like, or serve over pasta with marinara. My husband loves it as a marinara sandwich or southern style with chicken gravy and potatoes.
