Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved horizontally to make 4 thin cutlets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for topping
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Place the chicken cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up the breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish. In a second dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dredge the chicken: Dip each cutlet first into the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip into the egg wash, letting excess drip off. Finally, press firmly into the panko mixture to coat both sides completely.
  4. Cook the chicken: Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter foams. Carefully place the coated cutlets in the hot skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan (work in batches if needed).
  5. Pan fry for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess oil.
  6. Make the finish: In the same skillet, reduce heat to low. Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  7. Serve immediately: Arrange the crispy chicken on plates. Spoon the garlic butter from the skillet over the chicken. Sprinkle with the remaining grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can briefly place the breaded chicken under the broiler for 1-2 minutes after pan-frying, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Use high-quality, finely grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in the crust.
  • This chicken pairs well with a simple lemon wedge squeeze just before eating.
