Crispy Chicken Cutlets

This makes a very good simple main dish. 

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs
• ¼ cup parmesan cheese grated
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 egg
• salt & pepper to taste
• ⅓ cup vegetable oil

1. Freeze chicken breasts about 20 minutes or so.
2. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and pound to ¼" thickness.
3. Combine panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and garlic powder in a small shallow dish.
4. Whisk egg in a separate bowl. 
5. Dip chicken in egg and then in the crumb mixture pressing to adhere.
6. Preheat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. 
7. Gently add chicken and cook 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and chicken reaches 165°F.

I recommend serving this with a side of scalloped potatoes, some green beans and a separate side salad. OR you can cut the cutlets up and serve them over a large salad!
