📝 Preparation Steps
1
Butterfly the chicken & make the crema
Crema, 300 g
2
Cut chicken breasts into 2-3 thin cutlets with a sharp knife. Pound the cutlets to even them out. Season both sides of the chicken generously with salt. In a blender, mortar & pestle, or food processor, pulse together all crema ingredients until smooth. Taste and adjust as needed.

Bread the cutlets

Prepare a breading station with three plates: one with flour and cornstarch, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko bread crumbs. Coat the chicken in flour, then egg, and finally in bread crumbs. Press the bread crumbs into the chicken to ensure even coverage and sticking.
