Steps:
- Grate the cheeses, if needed. Mix the bread crumb ingredients in a bowl.
- If starting with thin chicken cutlets, proceed to the next step of pounding them. If starting with thick chicken breasts, you'll need to slice them thinly. On a large cutting board, use a large, straight-edged knife to thin the chicken breasts by slicing through them to cut them in half. (See the photo in the post.) It helps to place one hand flat on top of the chicken breast, while using the other hand to hold the knife while cutting through the chicken with a sawing motion. You will end up with two halves connected in the middle like a butterfly. Vertically slice through the center to separate the two halves.
- To pound your chicken cutlets, cover them with a large sheet of plastic wrap (to prevent a mess). Use a meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy frying pan to pound the chicken so that it is no more than 1/4 inch thick. (It might be a bit thinner than that.) Lift the plastic, flip the chicken over, cover it again with plastic wrap, and pound the other side. Discard the plastic wrap and wash your hands well if you touched the raw meat.
- Crack your two eggs and add them to a small bowl, such as a pasta dish. Season the eggs with the salt and pepper and beat the eggs with a fork.
- Set up an assembly line from left to right with your chicken, the bowl of eggs, your bread crumb mixture and a clean platter. Use a fork to pierce a cutlet, dip it in the egg, then in the bread crumbs. Cover the breast with the bread crumbs and pat them onto the chicken with the fork or your hands. Flip the chicken over and bread the other side. Place the breaded cutlet onto the platter and continue until you have breaded all of your chicken. Discard any leftover egg mixture and any breadcrumbs that had raw chicken dipped in it.
- On the stove, heat your largest skillet on medium high. Add 3 tablespoons of olive oil to the pan and let it get hot. When the oil is sizzling, add some chicken cutlets to the pan in a single layer. You will probably need to cook them in two batches, since they won't all fit. Cook the chicken on the first side for almost three minutes, then flip the chicken over and cook it for another two minutes. The chicken should be golden brown on both sides.
- Transfer the cooked chicken to a clean platter. (You can cut into one to make sure it's done. It should not be pink inside.) Cover the chicken loosely with foil.
- If the olive oil has turned dark after cooking the first batch, remove the pan from the heat and wipe out the pan with paper towels. Add another 3 tablespoons of olive oil so you can cook the next batch of cutlets in clean oil.
- Continue cooking the rest of the cutlets. Let the cutlets rest under the foil for at least five minutes before serving, to help keep them juicy.
- Store leftover Italian chicken cutlets in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. The leftovers are great in sandwiches.

ITALIAN CHICKEN CUTLETS
An excellent follow-up to your first-course pasta, or even as a standalone main, chicken cutlets are a classic Italian poultry dish. These fried chicken cutlets are coated with bread crumbs, parsley, and parmigiano reggiano to become delicious, golden, and finished to crispy perfection.

Steps:
- Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and between saran wrap or in a ziploc bag, pound to approximately 1/4" thickness with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer.
- In a shallow dish or bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. In a separate dish combine bread crumbs, parmigiano reggiano and parsley. Add flour to a separate dish.
- Add the oil to a shallow pan and heat it up over medium heat. How much oil you use will depend on how big your pan is. Aim for the oil to be about 1/2-1" deep.
- Dredge the cutlets in flour on each side. Shake off any excess. Transfer chicken to the eggs, turning to coat. Move chicken to the bread crumb mixture and coat.
- Add chicken to the pan, working in batches, and fry each cutlet 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
- If desired, top with finishing salt and fresh lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!

Originally found in a Southern Living cookbook, this is my favorite way to make boneless chicken breasts. You'll want to make extra because it tastes even better cold as leftovers or in a sandwich.

ITALIAN-STYLE CHICKEN CUTLETS
So simple and so good--these cutlets are a case where the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. Ground chicken is often disappointingly dry, but here a bit of butter and cream keep the meat moist. Serve with a light pasta dish and side salad. The butteriness of the juicy cutlets contrasts beautifully with the racy freshness of an uncomplicated red wine. A Beaujolais from France or a merlot from Trentino in Northern Italy or will be perfect.

Steps:
- Break the bread into pieces. In a large bowl, soak the bread in the half-and-half until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Mix in the chicken, egg, salt (if any), pepper, and the 3 tablespoons room-temperature butter. Put in the freezer for about 10 minutes to firm up.
- Remove the chicken mixture from the freezer; it will still be very soft. Form the mixture into four oval cutlets. Mix the parm and bread crumbs in a small bowl and coat the cutlets with the bread crumb mixture.
- In a large, nonstick frying pan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the oil over moderate heat. Cook the cutlets until golden brown and just done, 4 to 5 minutes per side.
