Description
A delicious recipe for crispy oven baked chicken cutlets that are easy to prepare and perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to about ½ inch thickness for even cooking.
- Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second dish, and breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
- Dip each chicken breast in the flour, making sure to coat both sides and shake off excess.
- Next, dip the floured chicken in the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Finally, coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
- Arrange the breaded chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops lightly with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or sides.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, consider using panko breadcrumbs.
- These cutlets can be stored in the refrigerator for leftovers and reheated in the oven.
