Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1.5 lb Chicken breast Cutlets, pounded thin
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs Lightly beaten
- 2 cup Breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs recommended
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil For frying
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Season the flour with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it in the beaten eggs, then coat it thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken cutlets into the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry the chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Notes
Serve the Chicken Schnitzel immediately with lemon wedges and your favorite sides. Enjoy!
