CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS 
3-4 Boneless and skinless chicken breasts
2 eggs (for dipping)
olive or vegetable oil (for frying)
crispy coating mixture (recipe follows)

Prepare Coating Mixture:

1 c. Italian breadcrumbs
1 c. plain Panko breadcrumbs
1/4 c. finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tbsp. fresh thyme
1/3 c. fresh grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. ground (or fresh) ginger
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. onion powder
salt and pepper (to taste)

My recommendation: Try to use fresh Parsley and thyme if possible - it DOES make a difference! The best way to mix these ingredients together is to measure each one into a Ziplock type back. This method will allow you to zip up the bag and shake it all up!

Place coating mixture in a shallow dish. You will have something similar to an assembly line: chicken cutlets, then egg mixture, then coating mixture.

Slice each breast length-wise to create 2 cutlets for each breast. Take each cutlet and dip in the egg mixture, then press into coating mixture (press firmly on each side to assure that the coarse breadcrumbs sticks to the cutlet. Gently shake off excess gently and set aside on a separate dish. Repeat this process for the remaining cutlets.

In a large skillet, pour enough vegetable (or Olive) oil to coat bottom of pan. Place skillet on Med-High heat and allow oil to heat up.

Fry each cutlet until golden brown (usually around 2-3 minutes on each side depending on thickness). Do NOT place cutlets in tinfoil as the heat from the cutlets will moisten the Panko breadcrumbs and get soft. Place the cutlets on a paper towel for a minute or so to soak up any grease.

I have been modifying and re-modifying this recipe multiple times and have found that this recipe is very tasty, crispy and makes very moist cutlets - Bon Appetite!

This recipe is a keeper (for sure). I cut recipe in half. It IS delicious. Be sure & slice the cutlet in half. (I was too anxious to try after checking the ingredients& & reading the reviews) This is perfection. Would rate it 10 stars if I could.

Growing up in 'JERSEY' chicken cutlets are a staple on most tables. Especially Italian-American homes. This recipe is close to the way most people prepared them minus the thyme ... PARSLEY 100% and grated cheese is a must! We always accompany it with either Salad, mashed potatoes or pasta or eggplant Parmesan.

Yummy!! My hubby LOVED it! I agree with the post that you don't need as many breadcrumbs...I had a lot left over. But, this was a fabulous dish! Quick and easy...gotta love that!

Unbelievably tasty. I didn't have garlic powder or onion powder on hand, but it was still amazing. I don't think quite as much breadcrumbs are required, either. Really easy dish to make and very tasty (sooo much better than fast food).

My fiance and I tried this recipe and loved it! We have been given seasoning tips by several people and this is our favorite. We're not big on red meat and eat a lot of chicken. We'll definitely use this recipe again. Thanks! :)
