Crisp Panko Chicken Cutlets Recipes

Steps:

• Butterfly and pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness. Combine chicken and yogurt in a medium bowl, season with salt and pepper, and toss with tongs until chicken is well-coated. Let stand at room temperature 15 minutes (or cover and refrigerate up to 2 hours). Coat chicken with panko, patting to adhere.
• Heat 1/2 inch vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium-high until a panko crumb sizzles when tossed in. Add half of chicken; cook, rotating with tongs for even browning, until golden brown and cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes a side. Transfer to a wire-rack-lined baking sheet; season with salt. (Remove and discard any bits of coating with a slotted spoon before cooking second batch.) Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Place greens in a bowl; drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately with cutlets and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

Steps:

• With a sharp knife, lightly score both sides of the chicken breasts in a checkerboard pattern.
• Lay a sheet of plastic wrap over the breasts and pound until they are about ½ inch thick.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Dredge the chicken in the flour and then dip it in the beaten eggs, shaking to remove excess.
• Dip each piece in the flour and egg again an then coat the chicken in the panko.
• In a deep, straight sided sauté pan, heat about ¼ inch vegetable oil over medium high heat until the oil ripples and simmers in the pan and instantly erupts into lots of bubbles when you dip a corner of the chicken breast into it.
• Immediately reduce the heat to medium low and fry the chicken in batches until cooked through and golden on both sides, 4 to 6 minutes per side.
• If the oil seems to cool down to much during frying, increase the heat a little to maintain a steady bubbling action.
• Drain the chicken on paper towels and serve it with abundant shredded cabbage and tonkatsu sauce.
• tonkatsu sauce: In a small saucepan, whisk together the Worcestershire, sugar, soy sauce and ketchup.
• Bring to a simmer over medium low heat.
• Reduce the heat to gentle simmer and whisk often until reduced to 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
• Whisk in mustard and allspice.
• Cool to room temperature.
• The sauce will keep for 1 week in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan cheese in another shallow dish.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• When the butter is melted, coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, then the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture and put it in the hot pan.
• About 3-4 chicken cutlets should fit in the pan at the same time.
• After about 2 minutes, rotate the chicken so it cooks evenly but don't flip it.
• After about 2 more minutes, flip the chicken, and do the same thing on the second side, rotating it once so the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
• Cook the rest of the chicken, adding the rest of the butter and olive oil as needed.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the dijon mustard and honey in a small serving bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.
