Spicy Breaded Chicken Recipes

SPICY BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Start by preparing the chicken. Each chicken breast gets cut in half horizontally and pounded down with a mallet or skillet. Use plastic or parchment paper to surround the cutlets when pounding them down. Ideally you end up with four even thickness chicken cutlets.
• Add the listed spice mixture ingredients to a bowl and combine well. (Keep in mind that there's lots of leeway on the spice mixture so feel free to use what you have.)
• Combine the spice mixture with 2 cups of bread crumbs and 1/2 cup of crumbled Cotija cheese.
• Your cutlet assembly line will have three stops. The first is a plate with 1/2 cup of flour, followed by a bowl with 2 whisked eggs, and then the seasoned breadcrumbs. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs. Be sure to push the breadcrumbs into the chicken to create an even layer.
• Heat up a skillet over medium-high heat. Add a thin layer of oil (you can optionally add a knob of butter). When the pan is hot cook the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then serve immediately.
