PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS
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.

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:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will make the preparation process easier, and the chicken will cook more evenly.
- Pound the chicken breasts or thighs to an even thickness: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Use a shallow dish to coat the chicken: This will make it easier to coat the chicken evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken firmly: This will help the breading stay on the chicken during cooking.
- Use a nonstick skillet or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet: This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat: This will help prevent the chicken from burning and allow it to cook through evenly.
- Serve the chicken immediately: This will ensure that the chicken is crispy and hot.
Conclusion:
Parmesan-crusted chicken cutlets are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is juicy and tender, and the breadcrumb coating is crispy and flavorful. This dish can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad.
