Cumin Fried Chicken Cutlet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon green tea rubs (a mixture of green tea leaves, sugar, and spices)
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
• 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Prepare the Green Tea Rubs:

• Combine the green tea leaves, sugar, and spices in a small bowl to create the green tea rubs. This mixture will be used to season the chicken.

Prepare the Chicken:

• Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2-inch. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Season the Chicken:

• Rub each chicken breast with the green tea rubs, ensuring they are well coated.

Prepare the Coating:

• On a plate, season the flour with salt and pepper. In another plate, combine the breadcrumbs, cilantro, cumin, garlic powder, and paprika.
• Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the flour, shaking off the excess. Then, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.

Fry the Chicken Cutlets:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets and fry for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Remove the cutlets from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Serve:

• Serve the Cumin Fried Chicken Cutlets warm, with lemon wedges on the side for a squeeze of freshness.
• Enjoy the flavorful combination of the green tea-seasoned chicken and the crispy, cumin-spiced coating.
