Breaded Chicken Cutlets in the Oven Recipe

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
2. Trim off any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
4. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
5. In a third shallow dish, mix together the Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
6. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere.
7. Arrange the breaded chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the chicken.
9. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
10. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
