Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 120 g plain breadcrumbs
  • 60 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 15 g finely chopped fresh basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 30 ml milk
  • 45 ml olive oil for frying
  • Lemon wedges for serving, optional

Method
 

  1. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet to about 1.25 cm thickness
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, chopped fresh basil, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended
  4. Dip one chicken cutlet at a time into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off
  5. Press the egg-coated chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated
  6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking
  7. Place the coated chicken cutlets in the skillet without overcrowding and fry for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy
  8. Transfer cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil
  9. Let the cutlets rest briefly, then serve warm with lemon wedges if desired
