Fry each piece of chicken until golden, about 8 minutes total. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Step 5 Cook chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1/2" to 1" oil until oil is hot but not smoking.

Whisk in milk and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. (It will thicken more as it cools!) Remove from heat. Add flour and cook until golden and bubbling, 2 to 3 minutes. Certain foods, like boneless chicken, fish fillets, and pork and veal cutlets, benefit from a light coating of flour before they’re sautéed.Take the cutlet out of the flour and shake it lightly over the dish to remove excess flour.
