Start by laying the chicken breasts flat on a cutting board, and slice them into ½ inch thick cutlets. Season each cutlet generously with salt and pepper.

Heat approximately 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat until shimmering, about 2-3 minutes.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning. Stir gently until well-blended.

Dip each seasoned chicken cutlet into the cottage cheese mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Roll in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly.

Carefully place the coated chicken cutlets in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Transfer the cooked cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
