With just three ingredients and less than 10 minutes of cooking time, these Italian Chicken Cutlets are one of the absolute best chicken recipes to share with the kids.
- Thinly sliced chicken breast - Eggs - Italian bread crumbs - Olive oil
Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Place the eggs and bread crumbs into two separate shallow dishes. Completely coat the chicken in the egg, then the bread crumbs. Set aside on a clean plate.
Add the olive oil to a large skillet ((I use nonstick) over medium heat. After a minute, drop a bit of breadcrumbs into the oil to see if it sizzles. If not, wait another minute for the oil to heat.
Add the chicken, tilting the pan to move the oil around as needed, and being careful not to overlap the pieces. Cook for 3 minutes, then turn over and cook for 3-4 more minutes, or until the chicken registers 165-degrees-F with an instant-read thermometer.
Remove from the pan with tongs, drain on a paper towel if desired, slice, and serve hot.
Let cool completely and store in an airtight container in the fridge. Store in the freezer for up to 6 months.
