Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.25 pounds chicken cutlets
  • Kosher salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 eggs (beaten)
  • ¼ cup flour of choice
  • ⅔ cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
  • 1½ teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon celery salt (or plain salt)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
  • Chopped parsley (for serving)
  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Season the chicken cutlets generously with Kosher salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Set up your dredging station: beat the eggs in a shallow plate, place flour in another plate, and mix the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, and seasonings in a third plate.
  4. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then press gently into the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
  6. Cook two breaded cutlets at a time for about 2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer them to your prepared sheet pan.
  7. Bake the chicken for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, substitute flour and breadcrumbs with appropriate alternatives. Use freshly grated parmesan for the best flavor.
