Ingredients

4 chicken cutlets (from 2 chicken breasts, sliced and pounded thin)

6 slices bacon

1 cup (100 g) breadcrumbs or panko

2 eggs

3 garlic cloves (pressed)

½ cup (60 g) flour

Directions

Fry the bacon until crispy, drain on paper towels, and blend into fine bits once cooled.

Mix breadcrumbs, chopped bacon, and paprika on one plate; whisk eggs with pressed garlic on another; add flour to a third.

Pound the chicken cutlets evenly thin and season with salt and pepper.

Place on paper towels to remove excess oil, then serve warm.
