all-purpose flour

🥗Healthier: almond flour

💰Cheaper: cornstarch

Almond flour is gluten-free and lower in carbs.

bread crumbs

🥗Healthier: panko bread crumbs

💰Cheaper: crushed crackers

Panko provides a lighter texture while crushed crackers are often cheaper.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is healthier.

chicken breasts

🥗Healthier: chicken thighs

💰Cheaper: chicken drumsticks

Thighs are often more flavorful and cheaper than breasts.

Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

Season chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: flour, beaten eggs, and bread crumbs.

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess.

Dip floured chicken in beaten eggs until fully coated.

Coat chicken in bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Add breaded chicken cutlets to the skillet in a single layer.

Cook until golden brown on one side, about 4-5 minutes, then flip.

Cook until the other side is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, about 4-5 more minutes.

Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Add mustard or hot sauce for extra flavor, if desired.
