In a small bowl, whisk together vinegar, sugar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and salt.  Add cucumber, onion and sesame seeds and stir.  Set aside to allow flavors to combine.

Season chicken cutlets with ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.

Top each cutlet with about 1/2 cup relish, 1 teaspoon soy sauce and sriracha (if desired). Serve.

Oven Baked Chicken Cutlets

eggs

breadcrumbs

Parmesan cheese (grated)

lemon zest

Salt, pepper

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and brush or spray it with cooking oil, then set aside.

Prepare 3 separate dished. 1st with 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2nd with 2 whisked eggs. In a 3rd dish mix 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tbsp lemon zest.

Cut the chicken breasts in halves lengthwise. Cover them with plastic wrap and pound with a meat tenderizer until they are even thickness and about ¼-inch thick. Season them with salt and pepper from both sides.

Dredge each cutlet in flour, then beaten eggs, and then breadcrumb mixture. Place on a pre-greased wire rack. Spray the tops of the cutlets with some cooking spray, that will help to keep the tops crispy and get golden in color.

Bake at 400°F for about 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Chicken cutlets are baked in the oven and are crispy on the outside, and juicy and moist on the inside. Coated in garlic parmesan breadcrumb mixture, they are very flavorful. Healthier and much easier to make than fried!

Baked Chicken Cutlets

lbs chicken cutlets (~6 pieces)

butter

garlic powder

parmesan cheese (grated)

½ tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 375℉. Prepare a sheet pan by placing aluminum foil on it. Top with a baking rack. Brush oil onto the baking rack to prevent sticking.

Place melted butter in a shallow dish.

In another shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.

Pat dry chicken cutlets. Working with one chicken cutlet at a time, brush cutlet with melted butter on both sides. Then coat chicken cutlets with the breadcrumb mixture on both sides. Finally, place the cutlet on the prepared baking rack.

Repeat for each cutlet.

Bake the chicken cutlets for 30 minutes. Flip the cutlets halfway through (~the 15 minute mark)

Remove from oven when internal temperature of each cutlet reaches 165℉. Serve and enjoy!

Crispy Chicken Cutlets

panko bread crumbs

Prep: Cut the chicken pieces in half crosswise, to form 2 thinner pieces. Place the chicken pieces in a ziplock bag 2 or 3 at a time, and seal the bag. Use a large heavy skillet or meat mallet to gently pound the chicken to about 1/3 inch and all one even layer.

Set Up: Once the chicken is all pounded out, arrange the breading station. Place the flour on a plate or shallow dish and mix with the salt and pepper. Whisk the eggs lightly in a separate dish. Pour the breadcrumbs in a third dish. Place a 4th container (a large plate or baking sheet) in the same area for the breaded chicken cutlets.

Bread: Bread each piece by lightly dipping it in the flour mixture, then lightly in the egg, then finally in the bread crumbs. Press as many bread crumbs as you can into the chicken, then place the breaded chicken flat in one layer.

Freeze: Flash freeze the chicken by placing the entire tray (this may need to be done in batches) in the freezer. Let the chicken freeze for at least one hour, then transfer to storage bags or containers for long-term freezing.

(this chicken may be cooked from frozen or from fresh, choose baking or frying method. there is no need to thaw these chicken cutlets once they are frozen)

Bake: To bake the chicken cutlets, preheat the oven to 425F and arrange the frozen (or fresh!) cutlets on a baking sheet OR on a rack set inside of a baking sheet for slightly more browning. Spray both sides of the chicken with cooking spray or spray oil. Bake the cutlets for about 25 minutes total, flipping once halfway through, until the breading is crispy and the chicken's internal temperature measures 165F.

Shallow Fry: Preheat a large skillet to medium (medium-low if your stove runs hot) with about 1/3 inch of oil. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken a few pieces at a time and fry for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. If the chicken browns too quickly, reduce the heat to allow the breading to brown slowly and the chicken to cook all the way through.

With both cooking methods, remove from the heat and immediately sprinkle with a bit of salt before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
