3. Add the chicken cutlets to the the bowl, mix well. Set aside.

5. Added enough oil to a skillet to come up about 1/4 - 1/3 way up the cutlets. Set on medium to medium-high heat.
6. I use the cutlets as is, the corn starch coating gives it slight crunch, but if you desire a thicker breading, dredge in seasoned flour or coat with bread crumbs.
