I have never coated chicken cutlets in anything but bread crumbs in my LIFE. I am out of bread crumbs and having people here (surprise!) in an hour. Can I use flour instead of bread crumbs? I can season it with many seasonings because I imagine it would be rather flavor-less.
Anyone know?

Yes, you can put in the spices of your choice and mix with a small amount of flour. You don't want to use too much, just enough to lightly coat the chicken. Wet the chicken pieces and put into a baggie with the coating. Toss gently until coated and then VOILA, cook. Also if you have corn flakes or any kind of non sweetened cereal, you can crush it and use that with your spices.

If you use the flour-egg-whatever method almost anything will work. Personally I like the whatever to be a 50-50 mixture of ground nuts and flour. Ground nutmeg is a great addition to the nut mixture or to plain flour. These coatings will work in pan frying, deep frying or oven baking (not above 375F or you might burn the nuts).
If you have the time place the coated items on an open rack and let them dry for 30 minutes before frying and the coating will be less fragile.

Also check your pantry for cereal like corn flakes or saltine crackers as a substitute for the bread crumbs.
Be sure to use a food processor or crush in a Ziploc bag before coating the chicken.
If using plain flour add cayenne or old bay seasoning to add flavor to the flour.
I like to soak my chicken in buttermilk and tobasco before coating the chicken.

Yes. It will be a thinner crust.
But another great idea to try next time is to crush some dry Stove Top Stuffing mix in a food processor and use the crumb for the breading of your chicken. YUM!

Sure, you don't want to dip it in egg though if you're not going to use bread crumbs. It'll get nice and golden brown. I'd bake it instead of frying too, and make a nice sauce to go with it. Perhaps a lemon butter sauce and then sprinkle some capers on as a garnish. Bon apetite and good luck.

Substitute For Breadcrumbs In Cutlet

Flour with spices. We like it spicy in my family so I use lots of ground black pepper and Chachere's cajun spices . You dip the chicken once in the flour then dip it in milk (can be buttermilk or sweet milk) and egg mix and let it sit a little bit before you fry.

You sure can! You only need to season it with salt and pepper.
Or, if you have a food processor, make your own bread crumbs on pulse.
