I recently posted a video of myself going for a walk and enjoying what I call Walking Chicken Cutlets instead of a protein bar. The video gained a lot of attention and requests for the recipe. So, here is my recipe for walking chicken cutlets! Let me know if you give it a try.
1lb.chicken breastsbutterfly and pound into 4 thin cutlets
kosher saltto season the cutlets
cracked black pepperto season the cutlets
2eggswhisked, or 1 large egg
½cupgrated parmesan cheese
¼cuppanko breadcrumbs
¼cupItalian breadcrumbs
avocado oilas needed for shallow frying
Instructions
How to Make
Setup the Breading Station
Add two whisked eggs to one plate. Add the grated parmesan cheese, panko, and Italian breadcrumbs to the second plate. Mix until combined.
Prep the Chicken
Grab two chicken breasts and butterfly them into four thin cutlets. Place the cutlets between parchment paper or add them to a sealable bag. Gently pound the chicken using a meat mallet, until it is thin and even.
Next, pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Season both sides with kosher salt and cracked black pepper.
Bread the Chicken
Run the cutlets through the whisked egg followed by the breading. Make sure each piece is well coated in the egg and breading. Repeat for all four cutlets.
Shallow Fry
Next heat a thin layer of avocado oil in your pan. It should cover the bottom of your pan. Once hot, but not smoking, add two chicken cutlets at a time. Do not overcrowd the pan. Shallow fry until cooked through and golden brown on both sides.
Cooking time will vary slightly based on the thickness of the chicken. The internal temperature should reach 165-degree Fahrenheit to ensure doneness.
Pull the chicken from the pan and place it on a cooling rack for 5-ish minutes. Serve hot and enjoy.
Notes
How long do these walking chicken cutlets last?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy cold or reheat leftover chicken in the microwave until warmed through.
