Things You'll Need:

Tips & Warnings

You can use this Chicken Cutlets recipe as the basis for other recipes (see resources): sliced over a green salad, accompanied by spaghetti and tomato sauce, baked in a Pyrex with Mozzarella cheese on top for Chicken Parmesan, on a toasted onion roll for a Chicken Cacciatore Sandwich... The possibilities are endless!
Don't cook over too high a heat, or your crumbs will burn before your chicken is cooked on the inside. Likewise, don't use too low a heat, or your chicken won't cook enough...

on 7/23/2009 no cooktime suggestions? This is my biggest fear and while the steps are easy to follow, the bar to "easy" hasn't been lowered far enough in this article.
