Step 1
Place the 2 chicken cutlets between plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with the 1 tsp salt.
Step 2
Set up three shallow dishes: one with the 1/2 cup flour, one with the 2 beaten eggs, and one with the 1 cup breadcrumbs.
Step 3
Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, then press into breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
Step 4
Heat the 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry the cutlets in a single layer, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 5
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve hot with lemon wedges or your favorite dipping sauce.
