Step 1
First and foremost: pound that chicken. The key to delicious chicken cutlets is to minimize the thickness of the filet. A simple solution is to pound it with a hammer or the kitchen utensil that is used for doing that. Of course, it should be done in a sandwich bag or saran wrap. If your breasts are too thick, you can even slice it in half to get another piece!

Step 2
Second, dip it in the eggs. Depending on how much chicken you make, usually one egg is sufficient enough. Beat the egg(s) and dip your chicken in the egg making sure all crevices and corners are covered in egg.

Step 3
Next is a surprising one that many people skip: dip it in the flour. A small bowl of flour should suffice. So from the egg, pat the chicken in the flour making sure to cover it all. The secret to great chicken cutlets is this step which curbs the egg slime from messing up the bread crumbs part.

Step 4
Last dip in bread crumbs. It doesn't matter which kind of bread crumbs--any will do. After the flour, cover the chicken completely with the breadcrumbs..

Step 5
Cook it. This can be done in a variety of ways. A healthier route is baking. The most common is frying it. Make sure to use oil and only add a little bit at a time depending on how much you need.
