Ingredients:
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded thin)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs (beaten)
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup olive oil (for frying)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
1. Prep the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a third dish.
2. Bread the Chicken: Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs to adhere well.
3. Fry the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add the Cheese: Preheat your oven’s broiler. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a baking sheet, top each cutlet with a generous amount of shredded mozzarella or provolone cheese. Place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
5. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the cutlets with freshly chopped parsley. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, like a fresh salad or roasted veggies.
