Crispy Parmesan Chicken Cutlets

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about half an inch thick. This ensures even cooking.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Transfer the browned cutlets to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the cutlets rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve the crispy parmesan chicken cutlets with your choice of sides and enjoy! This recipe is quick and delicious, making it a great choice for family dinners.
