Instructions
- 1.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
- 2.
In a medium bowl combine ground chicken, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and ¼ cup of grated parmesan. Reserve.
- 3.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of flour; place chicken in the center and slightly press into a disc shape (I did this on the counter). Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and cover with an additional piece of parchment paper.
- 4.
Use a rolling pin to roll the chicken into a giant cutlet, about ¼” thick.
- 5.
Gently remove the top layer of parchment (if any chicken sticks to the parchment, take it off and press it back on to the top of the cutlet).
- 6.
Brush the top of the cutlet with ½ of the whisked egg (1 egg per side). Sprinkle the cutlet with ¾ cup of panko breadcrumb and press the crumbs in well so they don’t move out of place.
- 7.
Prepare an additional baking sheet with olive oil spray* and flip the cutlet, breaded side down, onto the sheet.
- 8.
Repeat the egg and panko step with the top of the cutlet and then spray with more cooking spray. Bake, 25-30 minutes until you can pick the bottom of the cutlet up and see it becoming a golden brown. Raise the oven to 425°F and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- 9.
While the cutlet is cooking, prepare the salad: In a medium bowl, combine arugula and remaining 2 tablespoons shaved parmesan with 1 tablespoon olive oil and lemon juice. Reserve.

Serve giant chicken cutlet with arugula and shaved parm on top and lots of lemon juice
