Prep 15 minutes Cook 10 minutes Total 25 minutes Serves 4

Ingredients

• 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1.5 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup vegetable oil for frying
• Lemon wedges for serving

How to make it

1. Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thin cutlets, then place them between plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until they are about one quarter inch thick.
2. Set up three shallow bowls. Put the flour in the first, the beaten eggs in the second, and the panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, salt, and pepper in the third.
3. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, then dip it into the egg wash, and finally press it into the panko mixture until well coated.
4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium high heat.
5. Fry the cutlets for about 3 to 4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
6. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil before serving warm with lemon wedges.
