Best 10 Crispy Panko Chicken Cutlets Recipes

CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine chicken and yogurt in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with tongs until chicken is well-coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours). Coat chicken with panko, patting to adhere.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Add half of chicken; cook, rotating with tongs for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating with a slotted spoon before cooking second batch.) Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Place greens in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with cutlets and lemon wedges.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
• Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

• Heat oven to 450°F. Spray large rimmed cookie sheet with cooking spray.
• In 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add bread crumbs; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown. Transfer to shallow bowl.
• Between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, place each chicken breast; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4 inch thick. Season chicken breasts with 1 teaspoon of the salt and 1/2 teaspoon of the pepper.
• In shallow pan, stir together flour, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In shallow bowl, mix eggs and water with whisk. Coat both sides of chicken with flour mixture. Dip chicken into beaten eggs; turn to coat. Dredge in browned bread crumbs, coating completely. If there are any bread crumbs left in bowl, pat them on top of chicken breasts to cover any bare spots.
• Place chicken breasts on cookie sheet. Bake 13 to 15 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).
• To freeze: Arrange unbaked breaded chicken breasts on two large cookie sheets. Cover loosely with plastic wrap; freeze 3 to 4 hours or until frozen solid. Wrap each breast in plastic wrap, and store together in 2-quart freezer bag up to 1 month. To bake: Heat oven to 450°F. Place desired number of frozen breaded chicken breasts in 1 layer on cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes. Turn over; bake 8 to 10 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165°F).

CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

• Combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan cheese in another shallow dish.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• When the butter is melted, coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, then the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture and put it in the hot pan.
• About 3-4 chicken cutlets should fit in the pan at the same time.
• After about 2 minutes, rotate the chicken so it cooks evenly but don't flip it.
• After about 2 more minutes, flip the chicken, and do the same thing on the second side, rotating it once so the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
• Cook the rest of the chicken, adding the rest of the butter and olive oil as needed.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the dijon mustard and honey in a small serving bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

CRISP PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• If the tenderloins are still attached to the chicken breasts, remove them and bread and fry them separately, or save them for another use. With a sharp knife, lightly score both sides of the chicken breasts in a checkerboard pattern. Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the breasts and pound until they're about 1/2 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour and then dip it in the beaten eggs, shaking to remove excess. Dip each piece in the flour and egg again and then coat the chicken in the panko.
• In a deep, straight-sided sauté pan, heat about 1/4 inch vegetable oil over medium high until the oil ripples and shimmers in the pan and instantly erupts into lots of bubbles when you dip a corner of a chicken breast into it. Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and fry the chicken in batches until cooked through and golden brown on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side. If the oil seems to cool down too much during frying, increase the heat a little to maintain a steady bubbling action. Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve it with abundant shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
• In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar, soy sauce, and ketchup. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer and whisk often until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and allspice. Cool to room temperature. The sauce will keep for one week, tightly covered in the refrigerator.

CRISPY HERB-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Put the flour in a wide, shallow bowl and season with a pinch of kosher salt and pepper. In a second shallow bowl, mix the milk and egg. In a third shallow bowl, combine the panko, oregano, rosemary and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper.
• Bread the cutlets by dredging them first in the seasoned flour, then dunking them in the egg/milk mixture and finally by pressing them into the herby breadcrumbs so they are completely coated. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted and the oil is hot, add the cutlets and cook until golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle over the flaky sea salt. Serve immediately.

• Spread mayonnaise-paprika mixture on each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking pan; spritz thighs with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN CUTLETS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, creating 2 cutlets. Place the cutlets, 1 at a time, in a large zip-top bag and use a meat mallet to pound to ¼-inch-thick. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Add the panko and Parmesan to a third shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
• Coat the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in the eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat in the panko-Parmesan mixture, making sure all sides are covered. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Garnish the chicken cutlets with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
• Enjoy!
