These golden, juicy chicken cutlets are breaded with a zesty blend of lemon, parmesan, and sweet paprika. Served with a zing of fresh lemon juice and a garnish of chives, it's the perfect dish for a delightful dinner.
Place one chicken breast at a time in a sealing plastic bag and pound it to about 1/2 inch thickness using a mallet.
