Crispy Baked Chicken Cutlets
Baked, not fried, on a wire rack so the underside crisps instead of steaming. The crust comes from low carb breadcrumbs and parmesan.

Method
- Heat the oven to 425F. Set a wire rack over a baking tray.
- Pat the cutlets dry and season both sides.
- Mix the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic powder, parsley, salt and pepper on a plate. Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl.
- Dip each cutlet in the egg, let the excess run off, then press it firmly into the crumb on both sides.
- Lay the cutlets on the rack and drizzle with the olive oil.
- Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until the crust is deep gold and the chicken reaches 165F at the thickest point.
- Rest for 5 minutes, then serve with lemon.
Tips
Halving the breasts is the whole trick. A full thickness breast will not cook through before the crust goes too dark.
Press the crumb in, do not sprinkle it on. Crumb pressed into the egg stays put; crumb dropped on top falls off in the oven.
The rack matters. On a bare tray the underside sits in its own steam and never crisps.
