Tender and juicy chicken cutlets made by slicing chicken into strips, dipping them in an egg and Italian dressing wash, and coating them in seasoned breadcrumbs before shallow-frying.

## Ingredients

- 2 whole boneless, skinless chicken breast
- kosher salt (optional)
- black pepper (optional)
- 2 whole egg
- 1/2 cup Italian dressing
- 1 1/2 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Romano cheese, finely grated
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp parsley
- for frying oil

## Instructions

1. Trim any fat from the chicken breasts and slice each breast lengthwise into 1-inch strips.
2. Whisk eggs and Italian dressing together in a shallow bowl. In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan Romano, garlic powder, and parsley.
3. Dip the chicken strips into the egg wash, allowing the excess to drip off, then transfer to the breadcrumb mixture. Firmly press the chicken into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides thoroughly, which also flattens the strips.
4. Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cutlets in batches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
5. Remove the cutlets and transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt while hot.
