Categories     Chicken     Kid-Friendly     Quick & Easy     Dinner     Parmesan     Breadcrumbs     Bon Appétit     Sugar Conscious     Cheese Week     Small Plates

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 1/2 cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
1 tablespoon mustard powder
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper
4 small skinless, boneless chicken cutlets (about 1 1/2 pounds total), pounded to 1/4" thickness
8 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 lemon, halved

Steps:

  • Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a second shallow bowl. Combine panko, Parmesan, and mustard powder in a third shallow bowl and season mixture with salt and pepper.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Transfer to bowl with beaten egg and turn to coat. Lift from bowl, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko mixture, pressing to adhere. DO AHEAD: Chicken can be breaded 3 months in advance. Place between pieces of freezer paper or waxed paper and freeze in resealable freezer bags. Thaw before continuing.
  • Heat 6 tablespoons oil in a large heavy skillet or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook cutlets, adding remaining 2 tablespoons oil to pan between batches, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Serve with lemon.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Cutlets image

We love chicken parmesan and are always searching for a new or different version of preparing. I watched America's Test Kitchen and thought WOW - have to try this and soon! Note: The chicken breasts will be easier to slice into cutlets if you freeze them for 15 minutes until firm but not fully frozen. To slice in half, place one hand on top of the breast to secure it, hold a chef's knife parallel to the cutting board, and slice through the middle of the breast horizontally. Note that 1/2 ounce of Parmesan is grated on the smallest holes of a box grater (or Microplane rasp grater); the remaining 6 ounces are shredded on the largest holes of the box grater (see photos below). We like the flavor that authentic Parmigiano-Reggiano lends to this recipe. Less-expensive DiGiorno Parmesan cheese can also be used, but the resulting cheese crust will be slightly saltier and chewier. Serve this chicken with a simple salad. Although the portion size (1 cutlet per person) might seem small, these cutlets are rather rich due to the cheese content. To make 8 cutlets, double the ingredients and cook the chicken in 4 batches, transferring the cooked cutlets to a warm oven and wiping out the skillet after each batch.

Time 22m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 boneless skinless chicken breasts (8 ounces each tenderloins removed, breasts trimmed of excess fat and halved horizontally)
1/2 teaspoon salt & fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup unbleached all-purpose flour, plus
1 tablespoon unbleached all-purpose flour
1/2 ounce grated parmesan cheese (about 1/4 cup, see note above)
3 large egg whites
2 tablespoons minced fresh chives (optional)
6 ounces shredded parmesan cheese, see note above (about 2 cups)
4 teaspoons olive oil
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Set wire rack on rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together 1/4 cup flour and grated Parmesan cheese in pie plate. In medium bowl, whisk egg whites and chives (if using) together until slightly foamy. In second pie plate, combine 2 cups shredded Parmesan and remaining tablespoon flour.
  • Using tongs and working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer chicken to egg-white mixture; coat evenly and let excess run off. Coat chicken with shredded Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so that cheese adheres. Place on wire rack.
  • Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 2 cutlets in skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until cheese is pale golden brown, about 3 minutes. While chicken is cooking, use thin nonstick spatula to gently separate any cheesy edges that have melted together. Carefully flip cutlets and continue to cook until cheese is pale golden brown on second side and meat is no longer pink in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towel and return to medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and cook remaining 2 cutlets.
  • Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips:

- To ensure crispy chicken cutlets, dredge them in seasoned flour, then egg wash, and finally panko breadcrumbs. For extra crunchiness, double-coat the cutlets. - Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts thin. This will help them cook evenly and quickly. - To prevent the chicken cutlets from drying out, do not overcook them. Cook them until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still juicy and tender on the inside. - Serve the chicken cutlets immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or honey mustard. - For a healthier version of this dish, bake the chicken cutlets instead of frying them.
