Ingredients

1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into cutlets, and pounded 1/2 inch thick (453.6 grams)
salt and pepper
1/2 cup all purpose flour (120 grams)
3 large eggs
1 tablespoon milk
1 cup panko breadcrumbs (112 grams)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (25 grams)
1/2 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup vegetable oil (198 grams or 236.5 ml)

Instructions

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a wire cooling rack on top. Set aside.
Slice the chicken breasts in half, butterfly style. If any part of the chicken is still more than half an inch thick, pound them thin by placing the chicken between plastic wrap and using a rolling pin or meat mallet. Pat very dry and lightly salt and pepper the chicken breasts on both sides.
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, salt and pepper
Add the flour to a plate. Whisk the eggs and milk in a shallow dish. In a shallow dish, stir together the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic powder, and oregano.
1/2 cup all purpose flour, 3 large eggs, 1 tablespoon milk, 1 cup panko breadcrumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tablespoon dried basil, 1/2 tablespoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Working with one chicken breast at a time, dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, then the eggs, and then the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Place on the wire rack. Repeat with all of the chicken. Allow the chicken to rest while the oil heats up.
In a heavy-bottomed large skillet over medium heat, heat up the oil until it reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit as measured with an instant read thermometer.
1/4 cup vegetable oil
Working with 2 chicken breasts at a time, fry in the oil for 3 minutes on each side, or until the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on the prepared wire rack. Repeat with each piece of chicken, tenting the fried chicken loosely with foil while you work on the next piece.
Serve and enjoy!
