Helpful tips

  • Pound the chicken evenly so the cutlets cook at the same rate.
  • Press the breadcrumb coating firmly onto the chicken.
  • Bake only until the mozzarella has melted.

Storage

Refrigerate leftover cutlets promptly in a covered container and reheat until the chicken is piping hot.
