This is an amazingly easy recipe, and a perfect go-to for me because my boyfriend is super picky, but loves chicken cutlets in its many incarnations.
**I used mostly chicken tenderloins, but instead of paying a fortune for packages of just these, whenever I buy packages of chicken breasts, I cut these off myself and reserve them for just such a dish. I put them in a baggie and freeze them until I’m ready to use them. They usually go for $3+/lb for just these, so this is a smart way to get what you want without paying that much.
- boneless/skinless chicken breast, cut into strips, or tenderloins, whichever you have on hand, even dark meat will work for this (and be a bit juicier!)
- Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- parmesan
- egg, beaten lightly and seasoned
Mix breadcrumbs with parmesan. Dip chicken in beaten egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Fry in shallow oil until golden brown; flip and repeat.
How easy is that???
**My personal preference is actually to dip it in milk, then breadcrumbs, then milk again, and then breadcrumbs before frying. This makes it extra extra crispy and yummy. For whatever reason, though, I used egg this time.
(The fries were just some frozen fries I threw in the oven and seasoned. Nothing too interesting.)
Enjoy!!!!

Still a veggie but my wife would love these. She’s a meat eater and I don’t think I’ll ever ‘convert’ her! I’ve taken the recipe for her – thanks.
