Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pieces, 8 oz chicken breasts
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1–1/2 cups gluten-free panko-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup high-heat cooking oil (canola, vegetable, or avocado)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and slice them into strips 3/4 to 1 inch wide. You should get 4 slices per 8 oz chicken breast.
- For each strip, place it cut side up on a cutting board, cover with plastic wrap, and gently pound it down and out using a meat mallet to make it thin without tearing.
- Transfer the pounded chicken to a platter or half sheet pan, season both sides lightly with salt and pepper, and refrigerate while preparing the breading station.
Notes
Use a meat mallet gently to avoid tearing the chicken while pounding it thin.
Refrigerating the cutlets after seasoning enhances the flavors before breading.
Feel free to adjust the seasoning based on personal taste preferences.
