A delicious and quick recipe for crispy, golden chicken covered in rich Parmesan cheese, perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

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)
  • 1 ½ teaspoon 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. Line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
  2. Season 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 combine breadcrumbs, grated parmesan, and seasonings in a third plate.
  4. Coat each chicken cutlet in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture for even coverage.
  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 the prepared sheet pan.
  7. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until cooked through (the internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with fresh lemon wedges.

Notes

For the crispiest texture, ensure your chicken is coated evenly and press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture. You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mix for a kick.
