Equipment

  • 3 shallow bowls (like small baking pans)
  • 2 baking sheets lined with wire racks
  • 1 Large skillet Deep enough to hold ½ cup of olive oil and fit 1 to 2 chicken cutlets.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Chicken breast Large
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ cup flour all-purpose
  • 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt I use diamond crystal
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cups seasoned panko crumbs
  • ½ cup olive oil for pan frying

Instructions
 

Set up the dredge station

  • Whisk the egg and milk in shallow bowl.
    1 egg, 2 tablespoons milk
  • Combine the flour and spices in another shallow bowl.
    ½ cup flour, 1 ½ teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • Place the seasoned panko in another shallow bowl.
    2 cups seasoned panko crumbs

Prep the chicken

  • Cut the chicken breast in half lengthwise
    2 Chicken breast
  • Take one of your chicken cutlets and coat it with the flour mixture. Shake it to remove any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture. Let any extra egg drip off before finally coating the chicken in the panko crumbs. Repeat this process with each of your cutlets.
  • Let the chicken rest on a wire rack for about 10 minutes to have the crumb coat rest and adhere before frying.
  • Add the olive oil to a skillet and heat over medium-high heat.
    ½ cup olive oil
  • Place one or two cutlets and fry for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Repeat with the rest, add more oil if needed.
  • Remove from the oil and place them on a wire rack. Check internal temperature of the chicken which should read 165F.
  • IF your chicken needs more time cooking, place them in the oven at 350F for 5-8 minutes until 165F internal temperature is reached.
  • Serve with a simple salad and enjoy.
