How long should you bake chicken cutlets in the oven?

The baking time for chicken cutlets in the oven depends on their thickness and your desired level of doneness. Here's a general guideline:

For 1/2-inch thick chicken cutlets:

* 375°F (190°C): 15-20 minutes

* 400°F (200°C): 12-15 minutes

For 3/4-inch thick chicken cutlets:

* 375°F (190°C): 20-25 minutes

* 400°F (200°C): 15-20 minutes

Tips:

* Use a meat thermometer: Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of a cutlet. It's cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

* Don't overcrowd the pan: Give the cutlets space to cook evenly. If necessary, bake them in batches.

* Flip halfway through: This ensures that both sides cook evenly.

* Check for doneness: The chicken should be white throughout and no longer pink.

* Rest before serving: Let the cutlets rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute.

Remember: These are just estimates. Always check the chicken for doneness and adjust cooking time as needed.
