Prep: 15 min · Cook: 18 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Oven

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken cutlets
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 cups buttery crackers
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Cooking instructions

1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and lightly brush it with the olive oil. (about 5 min) — 425°F
2. Crush the crackers into fine crumbs. In a shallow bowl, mix the crumbs with Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. (about 3 min)
3. Beat the egg in a second shallow bowl. Dip each chicken cutlet in the egg, letting the excess drip off, then press it into the cracker mixture until evenly coated. (about 5 min)
4. Arrange the coated cutlets on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them. Bake until the coating is golden and the thickest part of each cutlet reaches 165°F, 15 to 18 minutes. (about 18 min) — 425°F
5. Rest the cutlets for 3 minutes before serving. (about 3 min)
