Ingredients You'll Need

For the Chicken

• 1 Family Pack of kosher chicken cutlets 
• ¾ cup oil
• 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• ¼ tsp dried basil
• 1 tsp ketchup (optional, for a tangy twist)

For the Crumbs

• ¾ cup breadcrumbs
• ¾ cup cornflake crumbs
• ¾ cup crushed Rice Krispies

By combining these three crumb options, you’ll get a texture and crunch that’s absolutely irresistible.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Liquid Mixture

1. In a large, resealable plastic bag, combine the oil, crushed garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, basil, and ketchup (if using). Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful marinade for your chicken cutlets.
2. Add the chicken cutlets to the bag. Shake well until each piece is evenly coated with the marinade.

Step 2: Prepare the Crumb Coating

1. Mix the breadcrumbs, cornflake crumbs, and crushed Rice Krispies in a shallow bowl or plate. This blend forms the ultimate crunchy coating.
2. Remove the chicken cutlets from the marinade and dip each piece into the crumb mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides evenly.

Step 3: Bake to Perfection

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Arrange the crumb-coated chicken cutlets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a lightly greased rack. 
3. Bake for 10 minutes on one side, then carefully flip the cutlets and bake for another 10 minutes.
4. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly before serving.

Pro Tip

For an extra-crispy finish, lightly spray or add a 1/2 tsp oil to the top of each cutlet with cooking oil before baking.

Optional Serving Suggestions

• Entree: Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
• Sandwich: Layer on a bun with lettuce, tomato, and mayo for a quick and satisfying sandwich.
• Salad Topper: Slice and serve over a bed of fresh greens with your favorite dressing.
