A breaded cutlet is a thin slice of meat, often chicken, pork, or veal, that is coated in breadcrumbs before cooking. The process typically involves dipping the meat in flour, then egg, and finally covering it with breadcrumbs. This creates a crispy outer layer when fried or baked, enhancing the flavor and texture of the meat. Breaded cutlets are popular in many cuisines around the world. They can be served with various sides, such as mashed potatoes, salad, or pasta, and are often accompanied by sauces like gravy or tomato sauce.
