Scale
For the Chicken:
2 large chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Oil for frying
Instructions
1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally into thin cutlets and pound to even thickness if needed.
2. Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and mix breadcrumbs with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third.
3. Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat about 1/2 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
5. Fry cutlets in batches (do not overcrowd) for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve immediately with whipped feta, roasted tomatoes, and a drizzle of basil oil.
