Ingredients

⅔ cup Italian bread crumbs
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 large eggs
¼ cup olive oil
4 chicken cutlets* about 1 pound total

Instructions

In a wide, shallow dish (such as a pie plate), stir together the Italian bread crumbs, Italian seasoning and garlic powder. Crack the eggs into a second wide, shallow dish and beat them together with a fork.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Coat both sides of each chicken cutlet first with the egg and then with the seasoned bread crumbs; place in the hot skillet.
Cook for 4-7 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through. Chicken is done when the center of each piece registers 165°F on an instant read thermometer. Serve immediately while the chicken is crispy; the breading will soften as it cools. (If you need to cook the chicken in batches, you can keep the cooked cutlets warm by placing them on a wire rack set atop a rimmed baking sheet in a 200° F oven.)

Notes

Chicken cutlets are boneless, skinless chicken breasts that have been sliced in half to make two thin chicken cutlets. Some stores sell chicken cutlets or thin-sliced chicken breasts, or you can slice boneless, skinless chicken breasts horizontally to make them yourself. If the chicken isn't thin enough after slicing, you can pound it to thin it out further.
