Chicken Cutlets

I love the combination of chicken and cheese. You can cut the chicken in smaller pieces and have nuggets or cut into strips. However you cut them, these are quick and easy and the kids love them. I used to make these and take them on trips with the kids.

2 tbsp butter

Notes

If you place all the bread crumb mixture in one bowl, they will get wet from the egg and won't stick to the chicken.
