Begin by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure even cooking.

Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with a beaten egg, and another with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and basil.

Coat each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the cutlets for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden and cooked through.

Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve immediately with your favorite sides and enjoy!
