Chicken cutlets

            My favorite food in the whole world has to be my grandmothers chicken cutlets. They are very basic to make and taste so good! My grandparents taught me how to cook when i was only nine years old. In this blog post I will tell you how to make really good chicken cutlets. There are only a few things you need

1. Chicken breast (obviously)
2. A meat tenderizer
3. 4 eggs
5. Flour
6. Bread crumbs (preferably make you own bread crumbs but store bought is fine too)
7. 3 medium sized bowls.
8. large deep frying pan ( any deep pot will work)
9. 1 measured cup of extra virgin olive oil

Okay, now that you have all of your ingredients ready you can begin to prep your cutlets. First thing you want to do is on a SANITARY surface you want to put the chicken breast down and begin to tenderize it. You do this by hitting it until it is almost flat and looks like a waffle. After this you want to do this to multiple pieces of chicken so they all look the same. Once tenderizing is done you want to set out your bowls, fill one with 4 cracked eggs, one with flour and the other with the breadcrumbs. Once that is set you want to stir the eggs around in the bowl until it is completely yellow. Okay, now comes the fun part. Soak one chicken breast at a time in the egg yolk once it is covered dip it in the flour and next the bread crumbs. When you do this make sure to stack the raw cutlets on top of each other not side by side because they will begin to dry and lose flour and bread crumb. After you have all your raw cutlets stacked pour your cup of olive oil into your pan and bring the oil to light simmer. Once you hear the oil popping and cooking you are good to put the raw cutlets into the hot oil (BE CAREFUL NOT TO DROP THEM IN OIL SPLASHES AND IT HURTS). Begin to cook and eye the olive oil as you cook to make sure that it is not getting to low, feel free to add more if  you begin to lose oil. Cooking is the tricky part because you cannot take your eyes off the cutlets while they are cooking for more than a few seconds. Eye the the side of the cutlet that is cooking once it is a golden brownish color flip it so it cooks on the side. Once both sides are a golden brown you have yourself a chicken cutlet.
