Old-fashioned breaded chicken cutlets! This traditional recipe for chicken cutlets is a labor of love, but they are well worth the effort. Great served with mashed potatoes and a veggie; also terrific on focaccia bread with mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion. However you serve it, it will not disappoint!

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.
