Ingredients
- 1 package chicken cutlets about 1 - 1 1/2 lbs
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Pound the chicken cutlets until they are about 1/4 inch thick to ensure even cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly.
- Coat each chicken cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Heat unsalted butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and bubbly.
