{homemade classic chicken cutlets}

how silly is it that i had never made chicken cutlets before yesterday?! haha. my best friend and i were talking about this the other day and was asking how i should prepare them. i did a lot of research and took his advice, but ultimately added my own little flair to it 😉

and basically it doesn’t matter that i had never made them before or that i was making it up as i went along… because when i finally made them, they were AHH-mazing!

after pounding out some already-thinly-sliced chicken breasts…

i created a seasoned flour/egg mixture/parmesan breadcrumb dredging station…

fried in some coconut oil… then i finished them in the air fryer for a perfect crisp… and dusted with parmigiano reggiano…

finally, dressed the cutlets with an arugula salad doused in meyer lemon and olive oil…

OH MY WORD! so good!!!
