❤️ Why You’ll Love This Chicken Cutlet Recipe

Easy: Chicken cutlets are really easy to make, and they literally make chicken taste 100 times better. I love the crispy crunch Quick: Make this gourmet meal in under an hour Versatile: You can swap the orzo and make a risotto, or pasta, or just make the chicken cutlets on their own to add to bowls, salads, or as a side

🍲 Ingredients

Chicken Breast – Chicken breasts are a lean source of protein and the best cut of chicken for cutlets because you can easily slice them into multiple thin cutlets, pound them down with a mallet, and voila! Breadcrumbs – Breadcrumbs are key to making the crispy coating on the Chicken Cutlet. You can usually find breadcrumbs in the aisle with bread products or the baking aisle. You can also make your own by toasting up bread and smashing it down until fine and small. Orzo – Despite its rice-like shape, orzo is actually a small pasta variety. It is really versatile and can be used in salads, in place of rice with a dish, and so much more.
