Cutlet

Okay kiddo, let's talk about cutlets! A cutlet is a thin, flat piece of meat that has been pounded and coated with breadcrumbs before it is cooked.

Imagine you have a piece of meat like chicken breast or pork chop. But, it's kind of thick and hard to cook all the way through. So, you need to make it thinner. You take a special tool called a meat mallet and use it to pound the meat until it is a lot thinner.

Once the meat is nice and thin, you can add some tasty breadcrumbs or other seasonings to the outside. This makes the cutlet very crispy and flavorful when it is cooked. Then, you cook the cutlet in a pan or in the oven until it is fully cooked and golden brown.

Cutlets are often served as a main course with a side dish like vegetables or potatoes. They are also popular in sandwiches or salads. So, next time you see a crispy, thin piece of meat on your plate or in your sandwich, you'll know it's a delicious cutlet!
