A popular main course dish for many of my clients (and their children!) are crispy chicken cutlets.  Thinly sliced chicken cutlets that are seasoned with salt and pepper, then coated in a mixture of flour, egg, Panko breadcrumbs and sometimes grated Parmesan cheese. They come out perfectly crunchy and browned each and every time!  Served on a simple salad for lunch they are delicious, or used as the base for a classic chicken Parmesan they work wonders.

I was immediately drawn to this version of pan-seared, crispy chicken cutlets which coats the thinly sliced chicken cutlets in a different, healthier mix of ingredients. The main star of which are rolled oats.  The oats are pulsed in a food processor until finely ground, then are combined with grated cheese, salt, pepper and parsley before being coated on the cutlets with a touch of olive oil. Cooked in olive oil until browned, I really enjoyed the taste of these crispy cutlets as well as the ‘hidden’ health benefits of the whole grain oats!
