A chicken cutlet is a chicken breast that is cut into thin layers and pounded to an even thickness. The chicken cutlet is dipped into milk and eggs then dredge in the flour. You can put the chicken in a greased baking sheet into the heated oven of 400 degrees or you can fry it. I usually serve this dish with basmati rice and salad. I love this dish it is fast, easy, simple and healthy; you would have your protein and vegetables in one dish.
