Start by laying the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board and slice them into even ½ inch thick cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil until it shimmers.

In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Blend until creamy.

Dip each chicken cutlet into the cottage cheese mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated, then press it into breadcrumbs.

Place the coated cutlets into the skillet and fry for 4-5 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Transfer cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil and let them rest briefly before serving.
