Step-by-Step: Crafting Your Cutlets

First things first, let's flatten those chicken breasts like your high school crush flattened your heart—gently yet effectively. Place each breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they're about 1/2 inch thick.

Next, it's time to set up your dredging station. In the first dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. In the second, beat the eggs with a Whisk until they're frothy like the sea. In the third, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic, oregano, and basil.

Dredge Like a Pro

With 3 shallow dishes take each chicken cutlet and give it a flour shower, followed by an egg bath, and finally, a breadcrumb spa. Make sure each cutlet is fully coated at each stage; think of it as dressing up your chicken for a gala.

Fry to Golden Perfection

Heat a good glug of olive oil (*see Chef Tip below in KitchenRIZZ) in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the cutlets until they're as golden as a California sunset, about 4 minutes per side. Then, let them rest on paper towels to drain any excess oil—nobody likes an oil slick on their plate.

Air-Fryer Method: A Modern Twist

For those who prefer a modern healthier twist, the Air-Fryer is your best friend. Preheat it to 375°F (190°C) and place the coated cutlets in the basket. Spray top of cutlets with Cooking Spray Cook them for about 10 minutes, flip, and then another 5 minutes or until they're crispy and golden. It's like having a mini convection oven on your counter top that will reduced your saturated fat intake— futuristic and fabulous without the guilt! (*Kitchen Hack: heat up your air-fryer for a few minutes before adding your chicken in. This will add to the crispiness of the bottom and speed up the cooking process)

Serving Suggestions: Dress to Impress

Now that you've nailed the chicken, let's talk presentation. These cutlets go great with a light arugula salad, some zesty pasta, or even tucked into a crusty baguette. If you're feeling fancy, drizzle some balsamic reduction over the top for that chef's kiss effect.

Pairing Perfection: What to Drink

What's a great meal without the perfect beverage to accompany it? For this dish, a crisp white wine like a Sauvignon Blanc does wonders. Not a wine fan? A light, citrus beer will also do the trick, (ie. Blue Moon)

The Vegetarian Twist: Swap It Out

Not everyone is a fan of the cluck. For a vegetarian version, swap chicken for thick slices of eggplant or portobello mushrooms. Follow the same steps, and you'll have a dish that even meat-lovers might envy.

Make It a Meal Prep Masterpiece

If you're into meal prepping, these cutlets are a dream. They reheat beautifully in the oven or air-fryer, and you can freeze them pre-cooked for those nights when cooking feels like climbing Everest.
