Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1½ cups flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 4 eggs
  • 2½ cups Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 cup oil

Instruction

  • If your chicken breasts are very large, carefully slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
  • Place chicken in between two sheets of parchment paper.
  • Flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  • Place flour, salt, paprika and garlic powder into a wide bowl suitable for dipping the chicken in. Whisk eggs into a second bowl and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and oregano into another.
  • Coat the chicken first into the flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
  • Heat 1-2cm (½ inch) vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat.
  • Carefully lay the chicken into the hot oil and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  • Remove the cooked schnitzel from the pan and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate.
  • Serve with lemon wedges and sides of your choice.
