Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breast, boneless and skinless
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Water
• 1.5 cups Breadcrumbs, plain or seasoned
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Neutral oil for frying (e.g., vegetable or canola oil)
• 2 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, if needed, slice them horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Use a meat mallet to pound each piece to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3

In a second shallow bowl, whisk the eggs and water until fully combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 6

Dip the floured cutlet into the egg mixture, coating evenly and letting any excess drip off.

Step 7

Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, patting firmly so the crumbs adhere well. Set aside on a plate and repeat for all cutlets.

Step 8

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should shimmer but not smoke.

Step 9

Working in batches to avoid overcrowding, carefully place the breaded cutlets into the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 10

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
