The author shares a personal cooking experience influenced by Stanley Tucci's audiobook 'What I Ate in One Year.' As a novice cook, they seek to impress their mother with a homemade meal, specifically chicken cutlets. The recipe includes common ingredients and involves a fun process of slicing, pounding, and breading the chicken. The author further customizes the breading mixture, adding smoked paprika and garlic powder for flair. Following these steps culminates in cooking the cutlets to a golden brown, demonstrating both culinary effort and creativity.
To start, I gathered a few simple ingredients, including four chicken breasts, two eggs, two cups of panko, and salt.
This was the fun part. I used a rolling pin to pound each of the chicken breasts until they were thin.
I whisked two eggs in a bowl and set it aside. I customized Tucci's recipe by adding a few dashes of smoked paprika and garlic powder to the panko.
I poured ½ cup of olive oil into a skillet and cooked the cutlets until they were golden brown on each side.
