The Best Crispy Chicken Cutlets
There are days – we all have them – when we’re just craving something oily and crispy and delicious. Not that these Crispy Chicken Cutlets are oily…but you get what we’re saying. They’re covered in gluten-free panko (crushed to an extra fine texture) and cooked to the perfect golden brown color in our favorite olive oil, Graza Sizzle. The sauce is an easy mixture of a couple of different ingredients, and provides a tangy dipping experience that perfectly pairs with these simple cutlets.
We would say these Crispy Chicken Cutlets are the ultimate recipe for people of all ages. Young, old, you name it. It’s like being thrown back into childhood sitting in front of the TV watching PBS. They’re thin, they’re easy, they’re DELISH.
Pro tip: have your favorite soda on hand for this one. It’s a must!
The Best Crispy Chicken Cutlets
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets/breasts
- 2 cups gluten free panko
- 2 eggs
- Kosher salt
- 1/2 cup olive oil
For the Sauce
- 1/2 cup ketchup
- 4 tablespoons Worcestershire
- 2 teaspoons Tamari *this is GF soy
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Instructions
For the Cutlets
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cover two cookie sheets with foil. If you have a cooling grid, add to one of the sheet pans. Use one for the uncooked breaded cutlets, and the other to reserve the cooked cutlets in the heated oven.
- Break the eggs onto a plate, whisk, and add a few pinches of salt.
- Pour the panko into a ziplock bag and roll over with a rolling pin or a glass to make the pieces finer. Pour onto a plate.
- Dip each cutlet into the egg, and then the panko. Pat the panko onto the cutlets. Set aside on the prepared sheet pan.
- Heat 1/4 cup olive oil over medium heat. When you can smell the oil and see swirls, drop in a few grains of panko. If they toast, the oil is ready.
- Add 1/2 of the cutlets, and if you have a splatter screen (highly recommended), place on top. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side. Reserve in the heated oven.
- Wipe out the pan. Add the other 1/4 cup oil. Repeat previous step with remaining cutlets.
For the Sauce.
- Add all of the ingredients. Whisk together. Serve with the cutlets.
