Ingredients
- 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
Instructions
- 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.
