Chicken breast cutlets
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. This recipe for chicken breast cutlets is not quite ordinary. To add flavor to the slightly dry chicken, I suggest seasoning it with orange juice. However, if desired, you can substitute it with lemon or even grapefruit juice, as kitchen experiments often yield unexpectedly pleasant results. 1. Wash the chicken breasts thoroughly, pat dry, and remove excess fat. 2. Carefully slice each breast lengthwise into two halves, resulting in 8 portion-sized pieces. 3. Prepare three deep bowls. 4. In the first bowl, beat an egg, add a pinch of salt and ground pepper to taste. Pour in some milk and mix well. Squeeze juice from a small orange or tangerine and add it to the egg-milk mixture. 5. Put flour into the second bowl. 6. In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs and thyme. 7. Pour a little oil into a frying pan and heat well. 8. Dredge each piece first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs. 9. Place the pieces onto the hot pan and fry until golden brown on both sides. How to make chicken breast cutlets as healthy as possible? Avoid using too much oil—just a few drops are enough to achieve a golden crust. Alternatively, you can bake them in the oven, though they should still be lightly sprayed with oil. Serve the cutlets hot, though they are also delicious cold. When serving, garnish with citrus slices or halves, along with your favorite side dish. The dish is now ready to be served.
