How to Make Crispy Panko Chicken Cutlets

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet.
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, whisk together 1 large egg and 2 tablespoons water.
  4. In a third shallow dish, place 2 cups panko bread crumbs.
  5. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
  6. Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
  7. For extra crispy cutlets, dredge in flour again, then dip back into the egg mixture.
  8. Coat each chicken breast completely with panko bread crumbs, gently pressing to adhere.
  9. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  10. Carefully place chicken cutlets in the hot oil and cook for 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
  11. Serve immediately and enjoy!
