• Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half to create cutlets. This makes them thinner so that they cook through evenly.
• Crispy Chicken: Make sure that the oil and butter are hot before adding in the chicken to fry. If the pan is cold, your chicken won’t be as crispy.
• Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Storage: Store fried chicken parmesan in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days.
