Parmesan Chicken Cutlets

I like to make a double or triple batch of the breadcrumb mix to freeze. Then, whenever I want some chicken, it's ready to go! So super easy and quick!

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs chicken breasts (or tenders)
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil
•  vegetable oil cooking spray
•  lemon wedge

• Breadcrumb mix

• 2⁄3 cup  breadcrumbs
• 2⁄3 cup  grated parmesan cheese
• 1  tablespoon  italian seasoning
• 1  teaspoon paprika
• 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt

Directions

1. Combine ingredients for Breadcrumb mix and set aside. (note: breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning can be substituted by Italian Breadcrumbs).
2. Cut chicken into 1-inch thick slices. Place slices between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and flatten to 1/4-inch thickness (note: do not do this with tenders) with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
3. Coat both sides of the chicken with cooking spray and dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
4. In 2 tablespoons of hot olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, cook half of the chicken slices, about 1 minute on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining pieces.
5. Serve with lemon wedges.
