Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil, for frying
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cups fresh arugula
  • 1 lemon juiced (about 3 tablespoons)
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Method
 

  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko, plain breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper mixed together.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then press firmly into the breadcrumb mixture. Place on a plate and let rest for 5 minutes.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Fry two cutlets at a time, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.
  5. In a large bowl, toss arugula with lemon juice, extra-virgin olive oil, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Serve each chicken cutlet topped with a handful of lemon arugula and a lemon wedge on the side.
