Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • kosher salt
  • black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 1/2 cups Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan Romano
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • parsley
  • oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Trim any fat from the chicken and slice each breast lengthwise into 1 inch strips.
  2. Whisk eggs and Italian dressing in a shallow bowl.
  3. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan Romano, garlic powder, and parsley in a separate shallow bowl.
  4. Dip chicken in the egg wash, letting excess drip off, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to flatten into thin cutlets.
  5. Heat about ¼ inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Fry cutlets in batches for about 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and the chicken reaches 165°F.
  7. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt while still hot.
