Chicken Cutlets Emeril Style

dragonpawz's Note:

I found this recipe in a recipe booklet by Emeril and made it my own. He uses large chicken breasts pounded down, I used cutlets. They came out juicy and crunchy. They had so much flavor that we make this instead of using italian flavored bread crumbs. You can also use plain bread crumbs instead of panco.

This was wonderful! I reduced the panko and Emeril's a tad, and I made a quick pan sauce to pour over the chicken before serving. Everyone at the table loved this chicken and it went really well with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus. Easy and delicious, this one is a winner!

Delicious!!!!! My DH is not a big fan of chicken and after dinner he said "We could have this again". After I picked myself up off the floor I had to make sure to save this recipe to my favorites cookbook. Unbelievably easy with big taste. The seasoned panko is amazing as a coating and fries up so light and crisp. Thanks so much for sharing. *Made for PAC Spring 2010*
