Chicken Cutlets — Cooking Guide

About This Product

Our Chicken Cutlets are thin-sliced, boneless chicken breast — quick-cooking and perfect for pan-frying, breading, or topping with sauce.

How to Cook It

  1. Pat dry; season or bread as desired.
  2. Sear in a hot, oiled pan 2–4 minutes per side (thin cutlets cook quickly), or pan-fry until golden if breaded.
  3. Finish in a 190°C/375°F oven if needed until the center reaches temperature.
  4. Rest a few minutes before serving.

Chef's Tip

Since cutlets are thin, watch them closely — a minute or two of overcooking can dry them out fast.
