Description

Make ultra-crispy, golden-brown chicken cutlets flavored with garlic, served with a silky, aromatic cream sauce for an easy yet impressive weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.7 lb boneless and skinless chicken thighs
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 cups cornflake crumbs
  • cooking oil spray
  • 1/4 cup water (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp corn starch
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp ketchup
  • 1 tsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1/2~1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Position the oven rack in the middle and preheat the oven to 400 F.
  2. Sprinkle salt on both sides of the chicken thighs.
  3. In one bowl, beat the eggs. Add flour, 1/4 cup water, onion powder, and garlic powder; mix well to combine.
  4. On a shallow plate, spread out the cornflake crumbs.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Dip one chicken thigh into the egg mixture, shake off excess liquid, and then dip it into the cornflake crumbs on both sides. Lay the breaded chicken flat on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken. If the crumbs become clumpy, add half a cup of cornflake crumbs at a time.
  7. Spray the top of the breaded chicken with cooking oil spray.
  8. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  9. While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce. Add 1/4 cup water and cornstarch to a saucepan and whisk to combine them.
  10. Mix in the soy sauce, ketchup, and honey or maple syrup.
  11. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then lower the heat to low. Cook for a couple of minutes while stirring until the sauce thickens to a ketchup-like consistency.
  12. Mix in heavy cream to your preferred taste.
  13. Pour the sauce over the crispy cutlets and serve.

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or simple greens.
  • The contrast between the shattering crisp of the chicken and the velvety sauce makes this dish visually stunning.
