2 boneless skinless chicken cutlets (6-8 ounces each)
1 egg, beaten
1 lemon, quartered
1 cup breadcrumbs, unflavored
1/2 cup all-purpose white flour
4 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon sage
ground black pepper

1
Place chicken filets between two sheets of wax paper and pound with meat mallet to a thickness of about 1/4 inch (or until it becomes too wide for the skillet you'll be using) - the thinner the better.
2
Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, herbs and salt and spread evenly on a large platter.
3
Dredge filets first in the flour, then through the egg, which has been beaten with the milk.
4
Coat filets with breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to really embed it into the meat.
5
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to frying temperature (medium-high flame).
6
Cook 1 filet at a time, about a minute each side or until golden and crispy.
7
Season with ground black pepper and sprinkle generously with fresh lemon juice.
8
Note: turkey, pork tenderloin, veal, even beef can be substituted; the key is that the meat be pounded very thin, otherwise it spends too much time in the oil.
