- In another shallow bowl mix together the bread crumbs and Parmesan Cheese.1.5 cups Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
- Bread each of the cutlets by dipping into the egg mixture and then the bread mixture. Press those breadcrumbs in. After they are all breaded, transfer to a plate and then put them in the fridge. This will help the breading set while you preheat your oven.
- Pour 1/4 cup of light olive oil (best for frying) onto a large sheet tray and place it in the oven. Turn your oven to 425 degrees. Use the convection function if your oven has it.
- Allow the sheet pan to preheat in the oven the entire time. When preheating is finished add the chicken cutlets, spray with olive oil cooking spray and bake for 10 minutes. Flip them over and bake another 7-8. If you are using convection, watch them because they will cook and crisp quicker.1/4 cup Light Olive Oil, Olive Oil Cooking Spray
