Prepare the Chicken:
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to about ¼-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Set Up the Breading Station:
Place the flour in the first shallow bowl.
In the second bowl, whisk together eggs and milk.
In the third bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bread the Chicken:
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess.
Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Press into the breadcrumb mixture, covering completely.
Fry the Chicken:
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cutlets, cooking 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve:
Arrange the chicken on a serving plate. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve with arugula and cherry tomatoes for a fresh touch.
