Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts cut in half lengthwise into thin cutlets
- ½ cup all-purpose flour*

- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup Italian breadcrumbs*

Instructions
- Combine the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt in a shallow bowl. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs and set aside. In the third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
- Dip the chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Transfer the chicken to the eggs, allowing any excess to drip. Finally, dip the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing until completely coated.
