Instructions

Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
In one bowl, whisk together flour, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper.
In a second bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the lemon juice.
In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with lemon zest.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, and finally the breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to coat evenly.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken cutlets for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve with extra lemon wedges and enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to pound the chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
If you prefer a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture.
For extra crunch, use panko breadcrumbs.
