Prepare chicken cutlets by slicing horizontally chicken breast into thin slices.

Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice and massage it into the cutlets.

Prepare separate plates for flour and bread crumbs and in a bowl beat eggs then add milk to make egg wash mixture.

Dust the chicken pieces in flour, then dip into egg wash, and roll into bread crumbs.

Repeat the process until all meat has been breaded.

In a large deep pot, prepare oil for frying and heat it up to high temperature without burning.

Place the breaded pieces into hot oil a few pieces at a time, avoiding overcrowding.

Allow the meat pieces to come to a light brown color on one side, then turn and fry until nice brown on both sides.

Place fried pieces on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
