Crispy Garlic Herb Chicken Cutlets with Zesty Peanut Dip

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced horizontally into 4 thin cutlets
• 1 large egg, whisked
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup Garlic & Herb Bread Crumbs
• 1/2 cup NON-GMO AVOCADO OIL EXPELLER PRESSED
• 1/4 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey or sugar
• 3 tbsp warm water
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Steps

1. 1

   Season chicken cutlets lightly with salt and pepper. Set up a breading station: one shallow dish with flour, one with whisked egg, and one with garlic & herb bread crumbs.

2. 2

   Dredge each chicken cutlet first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally press firmly into bread crumbs to coat completely.

3. 3

   Heat 1/2 cup avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Ensure oil is hot enough for frying.

4. 4

   Carefully place 2-3 breaded chicken cutlets in the hot oil (do not overcrowd) and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove to a wire rack to drain and repeat with remaining cutlets, adding more oil if needed.

5. 5

   While chicken cooks, prepare the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, honey/sugar, and warm water until smooth and desired consistency is reached.

6. 6

   Serve the hot crispy chicken cutlets immediately with the zesty peanut dipping sauce on the side.
