Step 1

Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Pound each piece to an even thickness of about ¼ inch using a meat tenderizer. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Bowl 1: Add flour. Bowl 2: Whisk eggs and milk together. Bowl 3: Combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, garlic powder, and optional cayenne/paprika.

Step 3

Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage. Coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray or lightly grease with olive oil. Arrange breaded cutlets on the rack. Spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.

Step 5

Bake for 15 minutes, flip the cutlets, and bake for an additional 5-8 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).

Step 6

Garnish with fresh parsley or lemon wedges if desired. Serve with sides like roasted vegetables, salad, or pasta.
