Ingredients

- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1-2 eggs, beaten

Instructions
- Prepare the Cutlets:
- In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place flour in another shallow bowl, and beaten eggs in a third bowl.
Season chicken or pork with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess.
Dip in beaten egg, then coat evenly with breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. - Cook the Cutlets:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add cutlets to the skillet (work in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding) and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side for chicken, or 4-5 minutes per side for pork.
Transfer cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. - Serve the Cutlets:
Arrange chicken or pork cutlets on serving plates.
Garnish with fresh lemon wedges and chopped parsley if desired.
Serve hot, alongside your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad.
