Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions:
- Prep the chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up the breading station: In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs mixed with water, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
- Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Fry the chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets in the hot oil, cooking for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve: Enjoy the golden fried chicken cutlets warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
