Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets (thinned for quicker cooking)
- 2 large eggs (for the egg wash)
- ½ cup Romano cheese, finely grated
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup herbed breadcrumbs (can use panko for extra crispiness)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F if you plan to bake the chicken.
- Beat the eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper for the egg wash.
- Combine the Romano cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic, and oregano in another bowl.
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg wash and then into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the coating sticks.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the cutlets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Alternatively, place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
- Serve with a salad, roasted vegetables, or your favorite pasta.
Notes
Ensure even thickness for uniform cooking. Let the chicken rest after cooking for juicier cutlets.
