Preheat the oven to broil.
2
|
Pour bread crumbs into a shallow dish and set aside.
3
|
Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.
4
|
Place the chicken on a cutting board, then slice through the middle (as if you were to butterfly each chicken breast, but slice all the way through).
5
|
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
6
|
Spread approximately 1 Tablespoon of mayonnaise on one side of the chicken breasts.
7
|
Place each chicken breast one at a time in the bread crumbs, then season and spread mayonnaise on the bare side. Flip over and coat the other side of the chicken breast with bread crumbs.
8
|
Remove breaded chicken to a clean plate and repeat breading process with all chicken halves.
9
|
Place oil in a skillet over medium heat.
10
|
Once oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
11
|
Remove the chicken to a 9″x16″ casserole dish.
12
|
Broil the chicken about 2-3 minutes until tops are nicely browned.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Pound Evenly for Uniform Cooking 🔨Use a meat mallet to pound chicken breasts to ¼-inch thickness, ensuring even cooking and preventing dry edges while keeping centers juicy.
- Double-Dredge for Extra Crunch 🥣After the initial panko coating, dip the breaded cutlet back into mayonnaise and panko for a second layer—this creates an irresistibly crispy, golden crust.
- Mayo-Based Binder Stays Crispier 🥄Use mayonnaise instead of egg wash; its oil content helps the panko adhere better and fry to a crunchier, more golden finish than traditional wet binders.
- Oil Temperature is Non-Negotiable 🌡️Maintain oil at 350°F using a thermometer—too cool creates greasy, soggy breading, while too hot burns the exterior before cooking the chicken through.
- Rest Before Serving for Perfect Texture ⏱️Let cooked cutlets rest on a wire rack for 2-3 minutes to allow steam to escape, preserving the crispy exterior while keeping the interior tender and moist.
