Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken Cutlets
These look like classic Italian chicken cutlets, but with one major surprise: they're secretly wrapped in prosciutto.
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 2 lbs thinly sliced chicken cutlets pounded
- 6-8 prosciutto slices
- 2-3 eggs whisked with some salt and pepper
- ¾ cups grated cheese (either Parmigiano or Locatelli) divided into ¼ cup and ½ cup
- ½ cup Italian-style bread crumbs with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper
- ¼ cup canola oil or vegetable oil
- 1-2 tbs olive oil
Instructions
- Pound the chicken out thin and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Add salt, pepper and ¼ cup grated cheese to the whisked eggs. Add ½ cup of grated cheese to the breadcrumbs and mix with your hands to incorporate.
- Wrap each chicken breast gently with the prosciutto.
- 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.
