Super crispy pan-fried cutlets that you can make with pork, chicken, or beef! Grain-free.
How To MakeDiet Type: Classic
Shopping List
- 1 pound cutlets (such as boneless pork loins, chicken, or beef thin top round steak)
- 2 cups almond flour crackers, such as Simple Mills (Note 1)
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or dairy-free substitute)
- avocado oil, for frying
- lemon, for serving
Instructions
- Step 1: Place the crackers in a food processor and pulse until they reach a finely ground breadcrumb consistency. Measure out 1 cup of breadcrumbs (any leftovers can be used in other dishes).
- Step 2: Stir together the breadcrumbs, parsley, and parmesan in a large plate. Season with salt and pepper if needed (we find the Simple Mills crackers are already seasoned enough).
- Step 3: Crack the egg into a bowl and whisk.
- Step 4: Use a meat mallet (or bottom of a saucepan) to pound the cutlets until they are 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch thin.
- Step 5: Prepare an assembly line with the pounded cutlets, whisked egg, and crumb plate. Coat the each cutlet in the egg, letting the excess egg drip off. Then coat it on all sides with the breadcrumbs. Transfer to a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining cutlets, adding more crumbs onto the plate if needed.
- Step 6: Heat a thin layer of avocado oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the breaded cutlets in a single layer (you may need to do multiple batches). Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until crispy and golden brown. Note: If the cutlets are browning too quickly, turn the heat down slightly.
- Serve: Enjoy warm with an optional squeeze of lemon on top.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: The crackers can also be replaced with 1 cup of your favorite finely-ground breadcrumbs.
