Follow The Steps

Start by preparing the chicken. Each chicken breast gets cut in half horizontally and pounded down with a mallet or skillet, resulting in 4 even thickness chicken cutlets.

Form an assembly line of 2 plates and 1 bowl. On the first plate, add the ½ cup of flour; next in the bowl, add 2 whisked eggs; and on the second plate, add the cheese bite breadcrumbs.

Dredge each cutlet in the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Be sure to push the breadcrumbs into the chicken to create an even layer.

Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat and add a thin layer of oil. When the pan is hot cook the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side (the exact cooking time in the skillet will depend on the thickness of the cutlets). Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven where they'll take about 15-25 minutes to cook through, dependent on their thickness.
