Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Old-Fashioned Chicken Cutlets.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a gentle 200°F (95°C).
Step 2
This will create a cozy spot for your cooked chicken cutlets to stay warm while you finish frying.
Step 3
Next, in a 1-quart casserole dish, mix together salt and sugar in water until fully dissolved.
Step 4
Immerse the chicken breasts in this flavorful marinade, cover the dish, and let it chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to absorb all those delicious flavors.
Step 5
After marinating, gently pat the chicken dry with paper towels and allow it to air-dry on a baking sheet for about 10 minutes, ensuring a perfect crust later on.
Step 6
While the chicken dries, take torn pieces of bread and blend them in a food processor until they reach a crumbly texture, which should take around 30 seconds.
Step 7
Combine these fresh bread crumbs with dried parsley in a shallow dish for an aromatic touch.
Step 8
In another shallow dish, pour in some flour, and in a separate bowl, whisk together eggs with a tablespoon of olive oil for a rich coating.
Step 9
Now it’s time to season the chicken with salt and pepper, enhancing its natural flavor.
Step 10
Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it generously with the seasoned bread crumbs.
Step 11
Heat the remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, and when it’s shimmering, add two cutlets at a time.
Step 12
Cook them until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Step 13
Ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C) for safe eating.
Step 14
Once cooked, transfer the cutlets to the warm plate in the oven to keep them cozy while you repeat the process with the remaining chicken.
Step 15
Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you prepare these crispy, golden cutlets that are sure to impress!.
