Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
1 cup of all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard
1 cup of breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
2 tablespoons of olive oil or melted butter
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and pound to even thickness.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs and Dijon mustard, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and paprika.
Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Place the breaded cutlets on a lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Let the chicken cutlets rest, then serve warm garnished with fresh parsley.
