Baked Italian Breaded Chicken Cutlet

This is the not-fried version of the classical breaded chicken cutlet. The cheese in the marinating will make it possible for the chicken to remain soft and moist inside, while the external breading will be golden and crunchy.

I suggest combining this dish with crispy baked potato leaves (you will find the method in this recipe too).
