Gather @chicken breast{600%g}, @all-purpose flour{60%g}, @vegetable oil{200%ml} and @black pepper{}.

Pound each chicken piece between plastic wrap to an even 1cm thickness.

Season both sides of every cutlet with @salt{1%tsp}, pepper and @garlic powder{1%tsp}.

Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten @egg{2}, and @breadcrumbs{150%g}.

Dredge each cutlet through flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so the crumbs adhere all over.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers — deep enough to come about halfway up the cutlets.

Fry the cutlets in batches, 3–4 minutes per side, until deep golden and cooked through. ~{4%minutes}

Drain on a paper-towel-lined plate.

Serve hot with @lemon{1} wedges, alongside rice and beans.
