Ingredients
- 2 medium chicken breast cutlets
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups shredded cabbage and carrot mix
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp mustard
Instructions
- 1
Pound the 2 chicken cutlets to an even 1/2 inch thickness. Set up a dredging station: 1 beaten egg in one shallow bowl and 1 cup breadcrumbs in another.
- 2
Dip each cutlet into the egg, letting excess drip off, then press into the breadcrumbs to coat both sides evenly. Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium-high.
- 3
Cook the breaded cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. They should feel firm and the crust should be crispy. Transfer to a plate.
- 4
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 tbsp mustard. Add a splash of water if needed to make it drizzle-able.
- 5
Serve the cutlets with 2 cups of shredded cabbage and carrot mix on the side, drizzled with the sauce. Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds or fresh herbs if you have them.
