Chicken-Fried Chicken

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten (or ½ cup egg substitute)
  • 1 (5-oz) box cheese and garlic croutons (3 cups)
  • ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 4 boneless chicken cutlets (1–1 ¼ lb)
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder with parsley
  • ¼ cup canola oil

Prep

    • Place flour in shallow bowl and eggs in second bowl.
    • Crush croutons finely; combine with Parmesan cheese in third bowl.

Steps

    1. Season chicken on both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
    2. Dredge chicken in flour (coating both sides); dip into egg (allowing excess to drip off). Finally, coat chicken with crouton mixture; press with fingertips to evenly coat (wash hands).
    3. Place oil in large sauté pan; preheat on medium 2–3 minutes. Add chicken; cook 4–5 minutes on each side and until chicken is 165°F. Serve.

    • Peel turnips and cut into small bite-size pieces (2 cups).
    • Chop garlic; cut bacon into 1-inch-long pieces (wash hands).

    2. Add to same pan with remaining one-half bacon fat: cabbage, turnips, and garlic; cook and stir 10–12 minutes or until cabbage wilts and turnips soften.
