Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
- 1 pound chicken breasts, boneless and skinless, sliced into cutlets
- basil, optional, to taste, chopped, for garnish
- marinara sauce, optional, to taste, for serving
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Step 2 -Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3 -In a shallow microwave-safe bowl, add the butter, the olive oil, and the garlic powder.
Step 4 -Microwave the garlic mixture until the butter melts, about 30 seconds.
Step 5 -Whisk the garlic mixture with a fork until very smooth.
Step 6 -In a second shallow bowl, add the breadcrumbs, the parmesan cheese, the Italian seasoning, the salt, and the pepper and whisk until well-combined.
Step 7 -Dredge the chicken cutlets, 1 at a time, through the garlic mixture and then the breadcrumb mixture, completely coating them on all sides. Make sure to press them lightly so the breading adheres.
