Crusted Chicken Cutlets Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 200 degrees. Place chicken between sheets of plastic wrap and pound to even 1/4-inch thickness. Pat dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
• Set wire rack on rimmed baking sheet. Whisk together 1/4 cup flour and grated Parmesan cheese in pie plate. In medium bowl, whisk egg whites and chives (if using) together until slightly foamy. In second pie plate, combine 2 cups shredded Parmesan and remaining tablespoon flour.
• Using tongs and working with 1 cutlet at a time, coat chicken in flour mixture, shaking off excess. Transfer chicken to egg-white mixture; coat evenly and let excess run off. Coat chicken with shredded Parmesan mixture, pressing gently so that cheese adheres. Place on wire rack.
• Heat 2 teaspoons oil in 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place 2 cutlets in skillet and reduce heat to medium. Cook until cheese is pale golden brown, about 3 minutes. While chicken is cooking, use thin nonstick spatula to gently separate any cheesy edges that have melted together. Carefully flip cutlets and continue to cook until cheese is pale golden brown on second side and meat is no longer pink in center, about 3 minutes. Transfer chicken to wire rack set in rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in oven. Wipe out skillet with paper towel and return to medium heat. Add remaining 2 teaspoons oil and cook remaining 2 cutlets.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Beat the egg in a shallow dish. Put your desired coating in a separate shallow dish. Season the chicken all over with salt and pepper. Dip in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then firmly press in the coating, making sure to coat both sides.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Working in two batches, add the chicken and cook until crisp and cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting the heat as needed if the coating is browning too quickly. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate; season with salt.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan cheese in another shallow dish.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• When the butter is melted, coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, then the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture and put it in the hot pan.
• About 3-4 chicken cutlets should fit in the pan at the same time.
• After about 2 minutes, rotate the chicken so it cooks evenly but don't flip it.
• After about 2 more minutes, flip the chicken, and do the same thing on the second side, rotating it once so the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
• Cook the rest of the chicken, adding the rest of the butter and olive oil as needed.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the dijon mustard and honey in a small serving bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Combine Hellmann's® or Best Foods® Real Mayonnaise with cheese in medium bowl.
• Arrange chicken on baking sheet. Evenly top with mayonnaise mixture, then sprinkle with bread crumbs.
• Bake 20 minutes or until chicken is thoroughly cooked.

Steps:

• Trim tops off zucchini. Using a mandoline or vegetable peeler, thinly slice lengthwise into wide ribbons; set aside.
• Whisk cornmeal, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and 1 tsp. salt in a wide shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, 1 Tbsp. mustard, and 2 Tbsp. water in another wide shallow bowl.
• Season cutlets on both sides with 1/2 tsp. salt. Dip each in egg mixture, letting excess drip back into bowl, then in cornmeal mixture, shaking off excess.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Working in 2 batches and adding more oil if needed, cook cutlets, shaking pan occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate.
• Meanwhile, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, red pepper, and remaining 1 tsp. mustard and 1/8 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add reserved zucchini ribbons and toss gently with your hands until ribbons are evenly coated with dressing. Add mint, cashews, and ricotta salata and toss just to combine.
• Transfer cutlets to a platter. Serve with zucchini salad alongside.

Steps:

• Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set aside. Fill a medium saucepan with 1/4 inch of water; add cauliflower and garlic and cover the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until florets are easily pierced with a paring knife, about 8 minutes. Drain and reserve.
• Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet, heat 1/2 inch of oil over medium-high heat until it registers 350°F on a deep-fat thermometer, or until a pinch of flour sizzles when sprinkled into the oil.
• While oil is heating, add pretzels to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until some crumbs are ground fine but some are still coarse pea-sized pieces. Spread pretzel crumbs on a large plate or another rimmed baking sheet. Wipe out bowl of food processor and reserve for cauliflower pureé.
• Place flour on another large plate or rimmed baking sheet and use a whisk to gently blend in 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a shallow bowl, beat eggs, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until blended. Working with one cutlet at a time, coat with flour on both sides, then dip in egg (allowing excess to drip off), then dredge in pretzel crumbs, pressing them to adhere.
• Working in batches if necessary, fry cutlets until golden brown and fully cooked, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer cutlets to wire rack to drain, and season them with salt.
• Once cauliflower and garlic are cooked and drained, add them to the bowl of the food processor along with the butter, milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Purée until smooth, adding more milk if necessary. Season to taste.
• To serve, divide arugula among four plates. Season with salt and pepper, a squeeze of lemon, and a drizzle of olive oil. Divide cauliflower purée among the plates, and top with chicken cutlets.
