  2. Take the chicken cutlets and pound them between two sheets of plastic wrap to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and a mixture of panko and breadcrumbs on three shallow plates.

Best served fresh to maintain the crispiness of the chicken and baguette. Toasting the baguettes helps prevent sogginess.
