- ¼ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- ¼ cup Grated Parmesan
- Zest of 2 Lemons
- 3 tsp. Ground Black Pepper
- 2 tsp. Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ½ tsp. Paprika
- 2 Eggs
- ½ cup Vegetable or Peanut Oil
- 1.5 lb. Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breasts
- 1 Lemon - cut into slices
- 2 tbsp. Chopped Fresh Italian Parsley
- Mix all the ingredients for the breading in a large, shallow bowl and set aside.
- Whisk together the eggs in a large, shallow bowl and set aside.
- Slice each chicken breast in half, creating two thin cutlets from each breast.
- Set a large skillet over medium high heat on the stove. Add the oil a minute or two before cooking.
- Dip each cutlet into the whisked eggs and cover all sides with the breading. Then add each cutlet into the skillet to shallow pan fry.
- Fry cutlets for 10 - 12 minutes, making sure to flip halfway through. The chicken will be done when the internal temperature reaches 165F.
- Enjoy with additional lemon slices and parsley for garnish.
NOTES ON THIS RECIPE:
- I prefer to add the lemon zest to the breading, as it will get a little crispy when pan-frying. However, if you want to whisk it into the egg mixture… that works too!
- Springer Mountain Farms Chicken Breast usually comes in about 1.5 packages with three breast. If you slice each in half, this will give you six cutlets.
- I love adding the lemon slices for garnish, as it gives this dish some extra zip. Then of course, Italian parsley is a must for a pop of color and brightness.
