A classic Italian dish featuring crispy chicken cutlets that are tender and juicy, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken cutlets (approximately 4 ounces each)
  • 1¾ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • ¼ cup rice flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ¾ cup gluten-free panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. Place each chicken cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until thin and evenly thick.
  2. Sprinkle both sides of the cutlets with ½ teaspoon of kosher salt.
  3. Set up three shallow bowls: one with rice flour (seasoned with ¼ teaspoon salt), one with beaten eggs (seasoned with ¼ teaspoon salt), and one with gluten-free panko (seasoned with ½ teaspoon salt).
  4. Coat each cutlet in the rice flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and press into the panko for even coverage.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  6. Fry the cutlets in batches for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook an additional 3 minutes.
  7. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a wire rack to drain excess oil and sprinkle with the remaining salt and black pepper.
  8. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Notes

For a twist, try using turkey cutlets or eggplant for a vegetarian version. Involve kids in the coating process for a fun family activity.
