Grandma Grace's Chicken Cutlets
These chicken cutlets have a special ingredient that gives them a distinct Neapolitan flavor: Locatelli cheese.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs thinly sliced chicken cutlets pounded
- 2–3 eggs whisked
- ¾ cup Locatelli cheese divided into ½ and ¼
- ½ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- Salt & pepper to taste
- ¼ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- Pound the chicken out thin and add salt, pepper and ¼ cup Locatelli to the whisked eggs. Add ½ cup of Locatelli to the breadcrumbs and mix with your hands to incorporate.
- Dredge the chicken, passing through the eggs first, letting any excess drip off and then breading them in the breadcrumb mixture. Let sit on a clean plate for 15–30 minutes.
- Add canola oil and a drizzle of olive oil to a skillet over high heat. When ready, lower the heat slightly and add two to three cutlets, depending on the size of your skillet. Let cook ~4 minutes per side, or until golden.
