Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (8 oz each)

- Pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup gluten-free flour blend
- 1–1/2 cups gluten-free panko-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup high-heat cooking oil (canola, vegetable, or avocado)
Instructions
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Slice them into strips about 3/4 – 1 inch wide, resulting in 4 slices per 8 oz breast.

Notes
For added flavor, let the chicken marinate in spices for a few minutes before breading.
Make sure to keep the oil at the correct temperature for crispy cutlets.
