If you cut the chicken into smaller pieces before breading, they’re nuggets—the guilt-free kind.

Ingredients

4 Servings

¾

cup all-purpose flour

2

large eggs

cups panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)

¼

cup grated Parmesan

1

tablespoon mustard powder

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4

small skinless, boneless chicken cutlets (about 1½ lb. total), pounded to ¼” thickness

8

tablespoon olive oil, divided

1

lemon, halved

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place flour in a shallow bowl. Beat eggs in a second shallow bowl. Combine panko, Parmesan, and mustard powder in a third shallow bowl and season mixture with salt and pepper.

    Step 2

    Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour, shaking off any excess. Transfer to bowl with beaten egg and turn to coat. Lift from bowl, allowing excess to drip back into bowl. Coat with panko mixture, pressing to adhere.

    Step 3

    Heat 6 Tbsp. oil in a large heavy skillet or a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in 2 batches, cook cutlets, adding remaining 2 Tbsp. oil to pan between batches, until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to a paper towel–lined plate and season with salt. Serve with lemon.

  • This was delicious! So crunchy and flavorful. This is a recipe that should be in everyone's repertoire. Next time I'm going to make a bigger batch and throw some in the freezer for easy weeknight dinners.
