INGREDIENTS:

14 chicken cutlets

3 eggs

3 cups (270 g) plain or Italian seasoned breadcrumbs

2 cups (240 g) flour

1 teaspoon (3 g) black pepper

1 teaspoon (3 g) regular or smoked paprika

1 teaspoon (6 g) salt

1/2 teaspoon (1.5 g) garlic powder

FOR FRYING: any neutral oil, plus one tablespoon (14g) of butter or margarine

DRESSING: Our choice for some ideas, or your choices

Note: we used ciabatta style paninis

1) Mayonnaise, lettuce 🥬 and tomato 🍅 with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper

2) Thinly sliced store bought eggplants 🍆 with a drizzle of the oil on both sides of the panino

3) Our homemade pesto, spread on both sides of the panino and roasted peppers (which we grilled with my homemade invention of a panini press) hahaha … We make do with what we have 😂

DIRECTIONS:

1) Prepare your stations in the order of dipping: flour, eggs and breadcrumbs. In the flour add all the dry ingredients and give it a good mix. Beat the eggs.

2) Lightly coat both sides of the chicken cutlets in the flour, then dip both sides in the eggs and lastly coat both sides in the breadcrumbs. Continue this process till all the cutlets are breaded.

3) In a large frying pan, heat any neutral oil (vegetable, canola, corn …) add the butter or margarine. Fry the cutlets till they reach a golden colour (about 2 minutes on each side).
