Open in Pepper →A Crisp Chicken Cutlet Never Fails
A thin chicken breast, breaded and fried, is the dinner that always works. It cooks in minutes, feeds picky eaters, and turns into a dozen different meals depending on what you put on top.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights the fridge is nearly empty and there's a package of chicken breasts to use up, or when the kids ask for chicken parm again.
Every recipe here starts with that same cutlet: Chicken Parmesan and Crispy Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Milanese, Thin Cut Crispy Chicken Cutlets, Breaded Chicken with broccoli cheddar orzo, Honey Butter Crispy Chicken Cutlet, and cornflake fried chicken cutlets.
Quick Tips
- 1
Pound them thin
Put the breast between two sheets of plastic and pound to about 1/4 inch so the middle cooks through before the crust burns.
- 2
Set up three dishes
Flour, beaten egg, then breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan — press the crumbs on firmly and let the cutlets rest 10 minutes so the coating sticks.
- 3
Keep the oil steady
Heat about 1/4 inch of oil to 350°F and fry 3 to 4 minutes per side, adding only 2 cutlets at a time so the temperature doesn't drop.
- 4
Drain on a rack
Move fried cutlets to a wire rack instead of paper towels so the bottom stays crisp while you finish the rest.
