Speedy Crunchy Parmesan Chicken Cutlets
  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and coat it with cooking spray.

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl, whisk together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, stir together the butter, white wine, mustard, and garlic.

  3. 3

    Dip each chicken breast half into the melted butter mixture, then press it into the bread crumb mixture to coat evenly. Arrange the breaded chicken in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Pat any remaining bread crumb mixture onto the chicken breasts.

  4. 4

    Bake the chicken in the preheated oven until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
