Ingredients

  • 1 ½ pounds chicken cutlets
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 5 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • Vegetable oil or olive oil (for frying)
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 5 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
  • 10 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 ¾ cups chicken broth
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • ½ pound sliced Muenster cheese
  • ¼ cup minced fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Whisk the remaining butter into the sauce, stir in parsley, and spoon over the chicken before serving.
  • Place the chicken cutlets between plastic wrap and pound to about ½ inch thickness.
  • Prepare three bowls: one with seasoned flour (flour, salt, and pepper), one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with cheese and parsley.
  • Coat each cutlet in flour, dip into eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange on a tray.
  • Heat about 1 inch of oil to 350°F and fry the cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • Preheat the broiler. In an oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil with garlic and 3 tablespoons of butter until fragrant.
  • Add thyme and red pepper flakes. Pour in chicken broth and simmer until slightly reduced.
  • Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice and zest.
  • Add the fried cutlets to the skillet, spoon sauce over them, and top with Muenster cheese.
  • Broil for 3–5 minutes until the cheese melts and lightly browns.
