Time 1h24m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
½ cup salt
½ cup white sugar
8 slices crustless bread, torn into large pieces
¼ cup dried parsley
¾ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
¾ cup olive oil, divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a large oven-proof plate on the bottom rack.
  • Dissolve salt and sugar in water in a 1-quart casserole dish. Place chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Pat chicken dry and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let air-dry for 10 minutes.
  • Place bread in a blender or food processor; blend until crumbly, about 30 seconds. Mix bread crumbs with parsley in a shallow dish.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish.
  • Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate shallow dish.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the egg mixture and coat evenly in bread crumbs.
  • Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cutlets; cook until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove warmed plate from the oven; placed cooked cutlets on the plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

THE BEST CHICKEN CUTLETS



The Best Chicken Cutlets image

When we set out to create the best cutlets, we sought perfectly tender chicken that was flavorful and juicy -- not tasteless and dry -- with a crisp, breaded exterior that stayed put and didn't get soggy. After trying different methods, we found that a mix of panko and Pecorino Romano creates the salty, crunchy crust we crave, while dried spices in both the flour and breadcrumb mixtures ensure that our cutlets are never bland.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 2 pounds)
1 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons granulated garlic
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Pecorino-Romano
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1/2 cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces. (They should look like large chicken tenders.) Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if using, in a shallow dish.
  • Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
  • Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
  • Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
  • Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 4 batches in total.
  • Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
