Equipment

  • Large frying skillet

Ingredients

  • 3 Chicken Breasts cut into Cutlets ( boneless, skinless )(6 chicken breast pieces)
  • 1/4 cup Olive oil
  • 1/2 cup Ranch dressing
  • 3 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tbsp White vinegar
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1/2 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese (finely grated)
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • 6 slices Provolone Cheese (optional topping)

Instructions

  • Place the chicken into a large zip-lock bag. Make sure you filet the chicken into cutlets and lightly pound them with a meat mallet to tenderize and make the breasts an even thickness.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the olive oil, ranch dressing, Worcestershire sauce, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and black pepper.
  • Pour the mixture into the bag with the chicken.
  • Place the bag in the refrigerator and leave it there for at least 2 hours or overnight is better.
  • Preheat the frying pan with your choice of frying fat (vegetable oil, bacon grease, or coconut oil) and heat up the oil.
  • In a separate bowl, mix together the panko crumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese. This is the crumb mixture.
  • Roll the marinated chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Place the chicken in the pan and fry the chicken on both sides until golden brown. Or the chicken has an internal temperature of 165. Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature.
  • Optional Step: Add the provolone cheese on top of each breast at the last minute of frying to melt the cheese.
