Place chicken cutlets between parchment sheets and gently pound with a mallet until uniform 1/4-inch thickness.

Set up 3 shallow bowls: Bowl 1 with flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bowl 2 with beaten eggs mixed with Dijon mustard. Bowl 3 with breadcrumbs and sesame seeds.

Dredge each cutlet in flour (shaking off excess), dip completely into egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing firmly.

Heat canola oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until shimmer (360°F).

Fry cutlets in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal).

Transfer to a paper towel-lined wire rack. Sprinkle immediately with a pinch of kosher salt.

Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges and homemade garlic mayo dip.

Rabbinic Culinary Tips

• Do not overcrowd the skillet while frying to keep the temperature hot and coating ultra-crispy.

• Double coat with egg and breadcrumbs for an extra crunchy crust.
