Step-by-Step Instructions

Place the chicken cutlets between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.

Set up three shallow bowls for breading. Add the flour to the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second, and combine the chopped pecans, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and any remaining seasoning in the third. Coat each cutlet in flour, dip it into the egg, then press firmly into the pecan mixture so the crust adheres well.
