Add the beaten egg from the 'Cutlet Mixture' group and the chicken broth to the bowl.

Tip van de kok: Using your hands is the most effective way to ensure all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
3
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into a standard loaf pan or a small rectangular baking dish.
Ongeveer 3 min

Once chilled, carefully run a knife around the edges and turn the firm block out onto a cutting board.

Set up your breading station. Whisk the 'Coating' egg in a shallow bowl. Place the crushed crackers in a separate shallow dish.
Ongeveer 3 min
8
Dip one chicken slice into the whisked egg, letting any excess drip off.
Ongeveer 1 min

Dredge the egg-coated slice in the cracker crumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even, full coating on all sides.
Ongeveer 1 min
10
Repeat the breading process with the remaining chicken slices.
Ongeveer 5 min
Tip van de kok: You can place breaded cutlets on a wire rack as you work to prevent the bottom from getting soggy.
11
Pour the vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Ongeveer 3 min
12
Carefully place the cutlets in the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Ongeveer 1 min
Tip van de kok: Leave space between cutlets to ensure they fry evenly and become crispy.
13
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until each side is deep golden brown and crisp.
Ongeveer 8 min
14
Remove the cooked cutlets from the skillet and transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain.
