Italian Chicken Cutlets

On lazy days in my family, we all cook together. Today we made an old family favorite that never lets you down.
You have to plan ahead for this recipe because you use stale Italian bread or baguette to make these bread crumbs.

*4 chicken breasts-  partially frozen .To ensure thin cutlets,  carefully slice chicken breast on the diagonal while chicken is partially frozen and set aside .

*Grate your stale French baguette or Italian bread with a box grater using the largest holes.

• 3 cups

To your bread crumbs add:

*1/2-3/4 cup Shredded Parmesan /Romano Cheese

• 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 1 teaspoon fresh Parsley- chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh Basil- chopped
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 3/4 teaspoon black pepper

mix together and place on a flat plate.

3-4 eggs beaten- in a  wide bottom bowl

assemble

one at a time dip both sides of chicken cutlets into the beaten egg and then into bread crumbs, covering both sides in bread crumbs.

Set breaded cutlets on a clean plate. repeat until all are covered in bread crumbs

Fry until golden brown .

Place fried cutlets on a plate lined with paper towel.Paper towel will absorb any excess oil.
