Cast Iron Skillet Chicken Breasts

Step 1

Lay the boneless skinless chicken breast on a cutting board that’s been lined with waxed paper or parchment paper.

Step 2

Cover the chicken breasts with another sheet of parchment paper and using the smooth side of a mallet, gently pound the chicken until it is thin.

Step 3

Whisk together the eggs in one of the glass baking dishes. Place the breadcrumbs in the other glass baking dish.

Step 4

Next, dip the chicken cutlets one at a time in the eggs and then into the breadcrumbs. Make sure both sides of the chicken are covered in breadcrumbs.

Step 5

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in the bottom of a cast iron skillet. Then add the chicken cutlets that have been dipped in the eggs and breadcrumbs.

Step 6

Brown the chicken cutlets on each side for about 2 minutes. Then transfer the cast iron skillet to a preheated 375 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Step 7

Cook the chicken cutlets until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
