Ingredients
Method
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
- Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap or in a resealable bag. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, pound to an even ½-inch thickness.
- Season both sides of chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and the black pepper.
- Set up your breading station: flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in a second dish, and in a third dish, combine panko, thyme, rosemary, parsley, garlic powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt.
- Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally press into the herb breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides well.
- Place breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with olive oil.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let rest for 3-4 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
Notes
You can bread these cutlets up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate until ready to bake. For extra flavor, add lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the finished cutlets.
