This Crispy Chicken Fritta is breaded and pan fried to perfection! It’s an Olive Garden Copycat recipe, but even better at home. It’s great paired with risotto, pasta, or potatoes and is ready in under 30 minutes!
This crispy chicken cutlet recipe is thinly sliced and sautés in the skillet until golden brown. Traditionally, Chicken Fritta is dipped in milk rather than egg, but I found that created a really soggy version.

After testing this recipe several times, my favorite way was to marinate the chicken in milk and still use egg for dipping. It turns out perfect!

Ingredients:
Chicken Cutlets– In this recipe, we use the flat side of a kitchen mallet to create thin cutlets. These fry up quickly and are perfectly browned.

Whole Milk– Milk helps tenderize the chicken. The enzymes in the milk help to break down the protein in the meat.
Panko– Panko gives the batter an airy, light texture and absorbs less oil than traditional breadcrumbs.
Breadcrumbs– For a bit of traditional, Italian style coating
Parmigiano Reggiano Cheese– My favorite cheese to bring out a nutty flavor and parmesan crust on the chicken
Flour- To allow the egg to stick to the chicken
Eggs-To help the batter to adhere to the chicken

Equipment substitution: If you don’t have a kitchen mallet, use a rolling pin or the bottom of a pan to pound out the meat.
How to Make Crispy Chicken Fritta:
Expert Tips:
- To avoid chicken juice flying around, cover with plastic wrap before using the mallet to thin out the chicken.
- The oil temperature is super important for the correct results. Make sure it’s around 375 degrees before adding in the chicken. To make sure the oil is hot enough, toss a piece of breadcrumb in the oil or just dip the very end of the chicken in and make sure it is really bubbling before dropping the whole piece of chicken into the oil.
- Be sure that the chicken is cooked entirely, by making sure it is no longer pink inside and/or a thermometer should read 165 degrees. Mine were completely cooked after frying. However, if the chicken is not cooked, finish it off in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes and re-check the temperature.
