Crusted Chicken Cutlets

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 to 4 cups cereal, crackers, pretzels or chips, crushed**
  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • Kosher salt and black pepper
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • **crisp rice cereal (crush 2 cups in a ziploc bag with a rolling pin), pretzels (crush 4 cups small twists in a food processor), pita chips (crush 3 cups in a food processor), plantain chips (crush 3 cups in a food processor), cheese crackers (crush 3 cup

Directions

  1. Beat the egg in a shallow dish. Put your desired coating in a separate shallow dish. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then firmly press in the coating, making sure to coat both sides.

  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add the chicken and cook until crisp and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed if the coating is browning too quickly. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.
