    How to Make Crisp and Tender Homemade Chicken Cutlets

    1. Prepare Chicken Breasts

    Begin by preparing your chicken breasts. Remove the tenderloin and trim any excess fat, gristle, or bone pieces using a cutting board and a sharp chef's knife. Lay each chicken breast flat on the cutting board with the smooth side facing up. Carefully slice the chicken breast in half horizontally to create two thinner cutlets.

    2. Pound Chicken Cutlets

    Next, place the cutlets smooth side down on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover them with another sheet of plastic wrap, then gently pound them with a meat pounder until they are about ½ inch thick or your desired thickness.

    Pitfalls and tips

    Use a three-step breading process

    flour, egg wash, and breadcrumbs, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper, and additional flavors like grated Parmesan, garlic powder, and dried herbs.
