Fry Chicken Cutlets

Cook chicken cutlets in oil, but before frying them, dip the chicken cutlets in egg and dredge them in breadcrumbs or flour. Heat the oil in a pan, add the cutlets and cook over a low to medium flame for about 25 minutes, turning them over halfway through. Use seasoned breadcrumbs, or flour sprinkled with salt and pepper. You can also coat your chicken cutlets with crushed corn flakes or crushed rice cereal before frying them.
