Let's Make Chicken Cutlets With Jersey's Own Julia Molinari!

Warning: If you're not currently hungry, you will be after watching Jersey's own Julia Molinari make her signature chicken cutlet recipe.

The content creator, whose family owns Molinari's Italian Restaurant and Catering in Neptune City, New Jersey, recently shared a mouthwatering fried chicken cutlet recipe on TikTok that any level can cook.

Molinari started her TikTok video by declaring, "Today's a very special day." You might be wondering what's so special about today. She then says it's because she's making "Mama Molinari's famous cutlets."

What you'll need to wow your family with this recipe: a pack of chicken breasts, parsley, breadcrumbs, flour, an egg, a dash of milk, and olive oil for frying.

Molinari takes us through the steps starting with opening the pack of chicken. While she's doing this, her cat wants a little bit of the spotlight and watches from nearby. Then her other cat decided to join the party and sneak into the frame. (Got to watch those kitties, because one is a parsley thief!)

After taking the cutlets out of the pack she explains, "Some people wash their cutlets. I'm just gonna pat mine dry," and then demonstrates.

She then demonstrates how she pounds the cutlets into thinner pieces. Once they are pounded down, it was then time for seasoning with some salt and pepper. Molinari then pulled out some plain, unseasoned breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and fresh chopped parsley.

"I just have a special addiction to parsley," she said as she added it to her breadcrumb and seasoning mixture.

After dipping the chicken cutlets into some flour, it was time to dip them into a mixture of egg and a splash of milk. Then the cutlets get covered in breadcrumbs just before frying them in some preheated olive oil.

Once the chicken is golden brown on both sides, it's time to take it out of the frying pan and enjoy! Molinari enjoyed a piece of chicken cutlet as is with no other food. They must be THAT good to just enjoy by itself.

Molinari's chicken cutlet video received more than 2 million views and nearly 2,000 comments.

"You need your own show," one viewer wrote in the comment section. Another added, "Chicken cutlet night in an Italian household is top tier." 

One viewer shared, " I just wanted to drop a few words. I'm a third-generation Peruvian Italian, and you gave me such a great idea. I was doing it differently, but I made them, and it was amazing."

The content creator and chef currently has 1.8 million followers on TikTok and most of her cooking demo videos quickly go viral.

When she's not in the kitchen whipping up a delicious meal, Molinari seems to spend a lot of time hanging out on the beach at the Jersey shore.

In a recent Instagram post, she shared a carousel of photos hanging out in the sand wearing jeans and a pink crop top captioned, "I got a rock."

Her followers often leave her uplifting comments, and this post was no different.

"Gorgeous, stunning, beautiful, all of the above," one person wrote. Another said, "You’re beautiful!!!!"

Another post shared just one day later was part two of the beachy photos. The first post received 26,000 likes and the second one got 16,000. More comments about being beautiful filled the comment section of the post.

Molinari shared her high school graduation photos on Instagram last June. She's now currently attending Rutgers University in New Jersey.

The content creator who certainly knows how to make a delicious Italian meal also shared some photos from Rutgers Football Stadium in early September, as well as a carousel of photos of her with some girlfriends tagged at Rutgers.
