Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  • In a shallow bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until smooth.
  • In another shallow bowl, combine 1 cup Italian Style breadcrumbs, 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tsp dried parsley; mix well.
  • Pat each of the 4 chicken cutlets dry with a paper towel. One at a time, dip a cutlet into the beaten eggs, coating both sides and letting excess drip off, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture so both sides are evenly coated. Place each coated cutlet on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all cutlets are coated.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, flipping the cutlets once halfway through baking, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Remove the cutlets from the oven, let rest on the baking sheet for 2–3 minutes, then serve hot.
