Pro Tips

#1

Pound the chicken cutlets to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking.

#2

Use low-moisture mozzarella instead of fresh mozzarella to prevent the dish from becoming soggy.

#3

Pat the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres properly.

#4

Let excess egg drip off the chicken before coating in breadcrumbs to avoid a clumpy crust.
