Ingredients:
- Chicken breast: 700 grams
- Eggs: 3
- Cheese (preferably hard variety): 150 grams
- Flour: as needed for dredging
- Salt: to taste
- Pepper: to taste
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions:
- Prepare the Chicken: Slice each chicken breast half into two thinner pieces. Gently pound them to even thickness for uniform cooking. Season with salt, pepper, and drizzle with lemon juice to enhance the flavor.
- Make the Cheesy Batter: In a bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. Finely grate the cheese and mix it into the beaten eggs, creating a thick and cohesive batter.
- Dredge and Dip: Lightly coat each chicken piece in flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip the floured chicken into the egg and cheese mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated on both sides.
- Fry to Perfection: Heat a generous amount of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry until each side turns golden brown and the chicken is cooked through, typically a few minutes per side.
- Drain: Once fried to a golden perfection, transfer the cutlets onto paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping them crisp and not greasy.
Serve these mouthwatering chicken cutlets hot, accompanied by your favorite side dish or salad for a complete and satisfying meal. The crispy, cheesy exterior paired with the juicy, tender chicken interior creates a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that’s hard to resist. Enjoy!
