6.Fry the prepared chicken breast in the skillet. One piece of chicken at a time or the oil temperature will drop.  If the oil temperature drops the chicken cutlets will absorb all the oil. Fry for about 5 minutes on each side. The chicken will be golden brown in color. Keep an eye on the chicken so it doesn’t burn.

7. Drain on paper towels.
