Crispy Ranch Chicken Cutlets Recipes

CRISPY RANCH CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Thinly slice the radishes, cucumbers and carrots lengthwise using a mandoline or a very sharp knife. Place in a large bowl, sprinkle with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Zest and juice the lemon. Combine the zest, juice and shallot in a mason jar or other jar with a tightly fitting lid and add salt and pepper to taste. Give it a good mix, then add the olive oil. Screw on the lid and shake to combine. Set aside.
• Pat the chicken breasts dry. Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast in two horizontally so you have a total of 4 thin cutlets.
• Now it's time to make your dredging station. Get out three pie pans, shallow bowls or plates with deep sides. Place the flour and ranch seasoning in one pie plate and whisk to combine. Crack the eggs in the second bowl, add 2 tablespoons of water and whisk to combine. Place the panko in the final pie pan.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working in an assembly line, place a chicken cutlet in the flour mixture and turn to coat both sides; tap off any excess. Place the cutlet in the egg wash and coat both sides. Finally, coat in breadcrumbs and place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining cutlets.
• Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is shiny, add the chicken cutlets and cook until golden and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Place on a cooling rack to drain off any excess oil and keep the cutlets nice and crispy.
• Drain off any excess water from the veggies and pat them dry with a paper towel. Add 1 cup
• fresh parsley leaves and 1/2 cup dill leaves. Drizzle in the lemon dressing and toss to combine.
• Congrats, it's time to plate! Place each cutlet on a plate, top with veggies and enjoy!

MOM'S SUPER THIN AND CRISPY CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Beat the eggs and 1 tablespoon water in a shallow bowl. Set aside until ready to fry.
• In a food processor, pulse the breadcrumbs with the parsley, pecorino, granulated garlic and salt until just incorporated. Transfer the breadcrumbs to a shallow dish.
• Cut the chicken breasts in half crosswise. On a sturdy cutting board, place a piece of chicken between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Using a mallet or other blunt object, pound the chicken into a flat piece about 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch thick. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Heat 1 cup olive oil to 350 degrees F in a 14-inch cast-iron pan with the garlic cloves. Line a sheet tray with a wire rack.
• Working in an assembly line, dredge the cutlets in the egg and then the breading. Double-bread by going back to the egg wash and back into the breading. Add the first piece of breaded chicken to the preheated oil along with 1/2 stick butter. Once the butter is mostly melted, add another piece of chicken. Fry until an internal temperature of 160 degrees F is reached, 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Add more oil and butter to the pan as needed while you fry the rest of your batches, allowing the oil to come back to heat between batches. Rest on the wire rack.
• Meanwhile, preheat a 10-inch cast-iron pan over medium-high heat until hot, then place the lemon halves, cut-side down, directly in the pan and allow to caramelize, 1 to 2 minutes. Reserve for garnish.
• Place the chicken cutlets on a large platter and garnish with freshly grated pecorino, parsley leaves and caramelized lemon halves.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.
• Pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Sprinkle each with some thyme and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs, flour and eggs in 3 separate shallow dishes. Coat each piece of chicken first in the flour, shaking off any excess, and then dip into the egg and finally transfer to the breadcrumbs, pressing to coat well. Set the pieces aside on a plate.
• Working in batches, heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add one piece of chicken and cook until browned and crispy, flipping once, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken. Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake until hot and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.
