Crispy Parmesan Chicken Cutlets

Grated Parmesan cheese, mixed with pepper and some flour, proved to be a flavorful coating and created a nice crunchy crust for our Crispy Parmesan Chicken Cutlets. We modified the classic three-step breading method here to ensure the coating stuck fast and cooked up crisp. We dipped each cutlet first in flour, then egg followed by the Parmesan mixture, then returned the cutlet to the flour. We pressed down on the cutlet in the final flour step to make the coating adhere firmly.

To keep the cooked cutlets warm while the remaining cutlets brown, we stuck the finished cutlets in a gently preheated (200 degree) oven until ready to serve.

Serves 4

For the best texture, shred the Parmesan on the large holes of a box grater. This recipe works best with chicken cutlets that are no more than ¼ inch thick. If your cutlets are thicker, pound them to ¼-inch thickness before cooking.

Dear Home Cook,

If I were new to CooksCountry.com, I might think, "It's easy to get free recipes on the Internet. What makes your recipes different?" Well, unlike recipes from blogs, message boards, and other recipe sites, our recipes are exhaustively tested by our team of full-time test cooks until they offer consistently great results. That means fried chicken with a crunchy coating and moist meat, a low-fat recipe makeover for macaroni and cheese that’s as creamy and cheesy as the full-fat version, and fork-tender slow cooker pot roast.

We're obsessive in our quest to find and foolproof the best of American home cooking, from fuss-free weeknight dinners, to updated, simplified versions of regional specialties, to slow cooker and make ahead meals. CooksCountry.com is the only place you can find every foolproof recipe published in Cook’s Country magazine since 2005, plus objective ratings and test results from both Cook’s Country and Cook’s Illustrated for cookware and supermarket ingredients.

Let me make a simple, no-nonsense offer. Try out our website FREE for a 14-Day, No-Hassle Trial Offer. I’m pretty confident that CooksCountry.com will quickly become an invaluable resource for everything from a quick Tuesday supper to your next get-together with family and friends.
