Unfried Chicken Cutlets Recipe 455

Steps:

• Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a shallow bowl. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and submerge in the buttermilk mixture.
• Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and a pinch each of salt and black pepper in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated. Lay the pieces flat on a nonstick baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bake the chicken until just cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes. Divide the chicken among 4 plates and squeeze the lemon over the chicken.

Steps:

• Place a wire rack inside a rimmed baking sheet. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise making 8 roughly equal pieces. (They should look like large chicken tenders.) Place one sheet of plastic wrap on a clean cutting board. Put one chicken piece in the center of the plastic wrap and top with another sheet. Pound the chicken with the flat side of a meat mallet, starting in the center and working your way to the edges, until the chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Set up a standard breading station: mix the flour, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, 1 teaspoon onion powder and 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, if using, in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water in a second shallow dish.
• Mix the panko, Pecorino-Romano, 1 tablespoon kosher salt, the remaining 1 teaspoon granulated garlic, the remaining 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes if using, in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge one piece of chicken in the flour mixture, turning to coat evenly. Shake off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, turning to fully coat it on both sides. Let the excess egg drip off, then press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat on both sides and packing the crumbs into any crevices. Transfer the chicken back to the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining chicken pieces.
• Line a clean baking sheet with a clean wire rack. Heat 2 tablespoons of the unsalted butter and 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add 2 pieces of chicken and cook until the breading is golden-brown and crisp and the chicken is just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to the clean wire rack, season with salt and hold in the oven at 200 degrees F to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean and repeat with the remaining butter, olive oil and chicken, making 4 batches in total.
• Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.

Steps:

• 1. In a mixing bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken in the buttermilk and soak in the refrigerator for a least one hour but no more than 24 hours] 2. Preheat oven to 400. In a gallon-size plastic bag, combine Panko bread crumbs, Parmesan, black pepper, cayenne, onion and garlic powder and paprika. seal the bag and shake until well-mixed 3.Remove the chicken from buttermilk and transfer directly to the bag with the bread crumb mixture. Shake the bag until the chicken breasts are evenly coated with bread crumbs. 4.Remove chicken and lay flat on a non stick baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, uncovered 5. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through 6. serve with brussels sprouts

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the buttermilk, hot sauce and 1 teaspoon each of the garlic powder, onion powder and salt. Add the chicken and toss to coat. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Put the breadcrumbs, paprika, cayenne and the remaining teaspoon garlic powder, onion powder and salt in a large resealable plastic bag; shake to combine. Remove the chicken from the brine and add it to the bag. Seal the bag and shake vigorously to coat the chicken.
• Line a baking sheet with a rack and spray well with nonstick spray. Arrange the chicken on the rack, skin-side up, and spray the chicken very generously.
• Bake until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks, mayonnaise, and salt in a large bowl until smooth. Add chicken and turn several times with tongs until evenly coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Add panko and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, making sure to get around the edges to incorporate darker breadcrumbs, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in mustard powder, if using.
• Using tongs, place a cutlet in skillet. Pat surrounding toasted panko onto cutlet with one of your hands, pressing firmly to adhere. Turn and repeat on the other side with more breadcrumbs. Lightly shake off excess breadcrumbs. Transfer to a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet (if you are making these ahead and freezing, skip wire rack and place directly on a baking sheet). Repeat with remaining cutlets, spacing evenly apart on baking sheet. Discard any remaining panko. At this point, breaded cutlets can be frozen up to 3 months. Freeze chicken on baking sheets until firm, about 1 hour, then transfer to resealable freezer bags or layer in an airtight container with sheets of parchment between cutlets.
• Preheat oven to 450°F and bake cutlets until cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a knife, 10-12 minutes. If cutlets are frozen, they will take a little longer, 14-16 minutes. You can also bake chicken 1 or 2 at a time in a toaster oven at 450°F. Bake directly on rack, 12-14 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, mix water and salt until salt is dissolved. Add chicken breasts. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• 2. After the chicken is thoroughly chilled, using a meat mallet, pound each breast to about 1/4" thick. If pieces are too large after pounding, you may cut them in half.
• 3. Sprinkle with Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic Seasoning. Gently rub in and set aside.
• 4. In separate bowls, add flour to the first bowl and add buttermilk to the second bowl.
• 5. Using a heavy skillet (I use a cast-iron chicken fryer), heat oil.
• 6. Dredge chicken pieces in flour.
• 7. Dip in buttermilk.
• 8. Coat with remaining flour. You may need to use a little more flour.
• 9. Once the oil is hot, add chicken pieces and sprinkle them with pepper. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until golden and carefully turn. Sprinkle with additional pepper, if desired. Cook on the other side until golden brown and juices run clear.
• 10. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.
• 11. IMPORTANT TIP: You may have to cook the pieces in stages so as not to overcrowd your pan. I usually only cook two pieces per pan load. I usually purchase Chef Paul Prudhomme's Poultry Magic Seasoning Blend at the Food Lion stores. I've also found it at Harris Teeter and sometimes at Piggly Wiggly. Our Walmart sStore doesn't carry this at all.

Steps:

• On a cutting board, slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally, creating 2 cutlets. Place the cutlets, 1 at a time, in a large zip-top bag and use a meat mallet to pound to ¼-inch-thick. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and pat dry with a paper towel. Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper.
• In a shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs. Add the panko and Parmesan to a third shallow bowl and whisk to combine.
• Coat the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip in the eggs, letting any excess drip off. Finally, coat in the panko-Parmesan mixture, making sure all sides are covered. Transfer the chicken to a clean cutting board.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat until shimmering. Working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan, add the chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, 2-3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Garnish the chicken cutlets with the parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing on top.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Place a large oven-proof plate on the bottom rack.
• Dissolve salt and sugar in water in a 1-quart casserole dish. Place chicken in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Pat chicken dry and place on a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Let air-dry for 10 minutes.
• Place bread in a blender or food processor; blend until crumbly, about 30 seconds. Mix bread crumbs with parsley in a shallow dish.
• Place flour in a shallow dish.
• Beat eggs with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a separate shallow dish.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess; dip in the egg mixture and coat evenly in bread crumbs.
• Heat the remaining oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cutlets; cook until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and juices run clear, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove warmed plate from the oven; placed cooked cutlets on the plate. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
