Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lay chicken breasts on a cutting board and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch, covered with plastic wrap.
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and chopped basil.
- Dredge each chicken breast in seasoned flour, dip in beaten egg, and coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- To cook, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Transfer cooked cutlets to a wire rack or paper towels, let rest for 5 minutes, then serve warm.

Notes
Pound chicken evenly for tender cutlets. Use fresh Parmesan for optimal flavor. Let cutlets rest to retain moisture.
