Chicken Cutlets

  • We love chicken cutlets! 
  • It's not really the healthiest meal though.  We discovered a simple recipe to substitute most of the bread crumbs with flaxseed and wheat germ. Try a healthier alternative to breaded chicken cutlets.  These are delicious! 
  • Ingredients
  • (When you can, also try to use organic ingredients.) 
  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup whole DHA milk
  • 1/2 cup olive or canola oil, for shallow frying
  • Bread Crumb Mixture:
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup flaxseed
  • 1/2 cup wheat germ
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt


  • Directions 
  • Mix eggs and milk in small bowl
  • Mix bread crumb mixture together on sheet of wax paper
  • Dip chicken cutlets into egg batter, then bread crumb mixture
  • Heat oil in large skillet, fry chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through
Enjoy!

  1. I tried out these chicken cutlets the other night and I L-O-V-E-D them! I'm new at this healthy food thing and this recipe was a great way to incorporate something healthy into a meal that we already loved. You can't taste the difference and I actually think that the wheat germ or flaxseed made the breading even crispier which i liked. This will definately become a new staple in our dinner rotation.
