• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying
• Optional: lemon wedges for serving
• Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Preparation Steps

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Slice the chicken breasts horizontally to create thinner cutlets for faster cooking.
2. Season each cutlet with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

Step 2: Set Up the Breading Station

1. Place flour in one shallow bowl.
2. Beat the eggs in a second bowl.
3. Mix breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.

Step 3: Bread the Chicken

1. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
3. Press the breadcrumbs gently to ensure they stick to the chicken.

Step 4: Cook the Chicken

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Fry the chicken cutlets for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.

Step 5: Serve

1. Transfer the chicken fritta to a serving plate.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
3. Enjoy as a main dish, in sandwiches, or as part of a salad.

Tips for the Best Chicken Fritta

• Use thin cutlets to ensure even cooking and a crispy crust.
