These Baked Chicken Cutlets are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and made with simple ingredients. They’re oven-baked instead of fried, making them a healthier option without sacrificing flavor. Perfect for sandwiches, salads, or served with your favorite sides!

Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to 1/2-inch thick)

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tbsp water

  • 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs (plain or Italian-style)

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1 tsp onion powder

  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning

  • 1/2 tsp salt

  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  • Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.

  • Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and water, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and seasonings.

  • Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press breadcrumbs onto the chicken to make sure they stick.

  • Place the breaded chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

 

  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.

  • Add a pinch of paprika or chili flakes for a spicy kick.

  • Great for freezing! Bake and cool, then freeze in a single layer before storing in a freezer bag.
