These chicken cutlets have a fluffy coating of egg yolks and beaten egg whites instead of breadcrumbs. The pounded, salted chicken breasts are first coated in all-purpose flour, then in beaten egg yolks, and finally in stiffly beaten egg whites. They are quickly fried on both sides in hot oil, keeping the coating delicate and light. Serve with potatoes or rice.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Pound the chicken breasts, season with salt, and coat first in flour, then in egg yolks, and finally in stiffly beaten egg whites.
Heat the oil in a skillet and quickly fry the cutlets on both sides over high heat.

Tip: Beat the egg whites just before coating the cutlets, and place the coated cutlets in the oil immediately so the whites do not deflate. Beat the egg yolks with a little milk.
