TOTAL TIME
1
Cut each chicken breast horizontally into two even pieces. You should now have six pieces of chicken in total.
2
Place each piece of chicken between two sheets of cling film. Using a meat mallet or heavy pan, pound each piece up to ¼ inch thick.
3
Crack the eggs into a bowl, and add the salt and black pepper. Beat the eggs thoroughly with a fork.
BREADING
4
Spread out the breadcrumbs on a wide plate.
5
Dip each piece of chicken first into the egg mixture, making sure it's fully coated, then into the breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to ensure a good coating. Set aside each breaded piece of chicken.
COOKING
6
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken pieces, few at a time, into the pan, making sure not to crowd the pieces.
7
Cook the chicken for about 3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Add more oil if needed. Set aside the cooked chicken on a plate covered with kitchen paper to absorb excess oil.
8
Once all cutlets are cooked, allow them to rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep them juicy. Enjoy these flavorful cutlets as they are, or as a great addition to homemade sandwiches.
STORAGE
9
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for 3-4 days for some delightful easy-to-make meals later.
