Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour

– 1 teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– Olive oil or cooking spray for baking
Instructions
Creating Crispy Panko Chicken Cutlets is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken to an even thickness, about ½ inch thick.
3. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
4. Dredge Chicken: Start by coating each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to adhere.
5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or spray lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
7. Rest: Remove from the oven and let the cutlets rest for a few minutes before serving.
