Healthy Crispy Chicken Cutlets

These Healthy Crispy Chicken Cutlets are both easy and delicious. This family friendly meal will quickly become a weeknight staple in your home. With crispy flavorful breading and tender chicken, you can't go wrong!

I am always looking for easy, yummy meals that my whole family will love. These crispy chicken cutlets are a huge hit in my household and they are super versatile. I love to serve them with a side salad and potatoes, in a sandwich or even turn them into chicken parmesan! This is a great recipe to have on hand for when you need something on the table in a hurry.

Recipe Tips:

• Thin Chicken - you want to pound the chicken breast into a thin cutlet. This way you can get a crispy coating while keeping the chicken nice and juicy
• Breading - you want your breading to be crispy, flavorful and most importantly - you want it to stick! My 3 plate dredging station makes all of this possible - instructions in the recipe card
  • PS my secret ingredient is pork rinds! Use it to make gluten free panic breadcrumb and it works beautifully
• Cook Time - because you pound the chicken so thin, it only takes 3-5 minutes per side to cook for juicy chicken (165'F internal temp) you don't want to overcook it

Chicken Milanese

  The ground pork rinds mixed with the remaining ½ tsp of salt, pepper, dried rosemary, dried oregano and dried parsley is on the last plate

  Then dip in the egg

  And lastly, coat it with the seasoned ground pork rinds (set aside)

*add pork rinds to a food processor and grind to a fine crumb
