Directions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/4 inch thick.
Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Dredge chicken in the flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, shaking off any drip.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Carefully place the coated chicken in.
Fry until golden and cooked through, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the chicken cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining cutlets.
Serve the Cotolette di Pollo hot, with fresh lemon juice. They pair well with spaghetti marinara, a side salad, or roasted vegetables.
