Best Dads Gluten Free Old School Chicken Cutlets Recipes

KETO BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• If any of the chicken slices are thicker than 1/4 inch, pound them out one at a time between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with a meat mallet to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
• Lay out the chicken on a baking sheet or plate and sprinkle all over with salt and just enough of the almond flour to lightly coat both sides.
• Beat the eggs in a wide shallow bowl. In another wide, shallow bowl, mix the remaining almond flour with the Parmesan, paprika and garlic powder.
• Dip 1 to 2 slices of chicken in the eggs to coat. Let the excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour-Parmesan mixture. Return to the baking sheet or plate and repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat 1/4 inch of ghee or avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add half the chicken and cook until golden on one side, about 3 minutes. Flip and cook until golden on the other side, another 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat with the remaining chicken, adding more ghee or oil if needed. Serve with lemon wedges.

DAD'S GLUTEN FREE - OLD SCHOOL CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Here's the key to the whole recipe... Pay attention!
• Chicken cooks quickly when sliced real thin so fry cutlets at med-high heat, 3 minutes on each side...
• If you need further convincing to cut your cutlets very thin, then think of this fact. The less time the chicken cooks in oil, the less the calories retained after draining and patting dry.
• If your kids are like mine, they'll be asking for this every other day, so try and reduce fat every chance you get.
• Onto the instructions....
• Defrost breasts only ¾ through. You'll need the additional stability to cut very thin slices. Need good knife and a steady hand, but practice helps all skill levels.
• 2 Lbs Chicken Breast (1 Breast = 6 cutlets = 1/4th inch (.250) thick slices).
• Pour the 4 cups of Canola Oil into a large frying pan. You're really looking to have the oil reach 1/2 inch from the bottom of the pan. The chicken needs to cook thoroughly and quickly.
• Set burner under frying to med-high. Test Oil in 5 minutes by placing one of your smaller pieces in the pan. if the cutlet looks like it is cooking evenly and as quickly as required, then add additional pieces. Not too many at a time. Patience is key.
• Open first gallon-size Ziploc and crack in three eggs. Blow up the bag, by closing almost completely. Pretend you're blowing up a balloon. Close the seal and shake. Eggs mixed super fast. Insert all sliced chicken; seal shake (carefully), Set aside.
• Put all dry ingredients in second bag.
• Add egged chicken no more than 3 at a time. Flour mix can get glutinous if too much egg is added at once. Seal and shake vigorously until coated lightly throughout.
• Place in hot oil.
• The rest is all up to you. Be careful. Watch your cutlets, no more than 3 minutes on each side.
• When you have drained all excessive oil, put them in a pan and place in the oven at 325 degrees for 15 minutes. This will finish up the cooking if you cut them too big and release excess oil.
• Enjoy.

MOM'S SUPER THIN AND CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl. Set aside until ready to fry.
• In a food processor, pulse the breadcrumbs with the parsley, pecorino, granulated garlic and salt until just incorporated. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise. On a sturdy cutting board, place a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or other blunt object, pound the chicken into a flat piece about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat 1 cup olive oil to 350 degrees F in a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the garlic cloves. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Working in an assembly line, dredge the cutlets in the egg and then the breading. Double-bread by going back to the egg wash and back into the breading. Add the first piece of breaded chicken to the preheated oil along with 1/2 stick butter. Once the butter is mostly melted, add another piece of chicken. Fry until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as needed while you fry the rest of your batches, allowing the oil to come back to heat between batches. Rest on the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot, then place the lemon halves, cut-side down, directly in the pan and allow to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve for garnish.
• Place the chicken cutlets on a large platter and garnish with freshly grated pecorino, parsley leaves and caramelized lemon halves.
