Instructions
- Place the chicken breasts on the work surface, cut them in 2 lengthwise, and bash them with a meat tenderiser.
- Next, we need 2 large plates. On one plate we have plain flour, on the other breadcrumbs.
- Beat the egg lightly using a fork, then season with salt and pepper.
- Coat the chicken slices in flour, then dip in the egg mixture and in the end toss them well in breadcrumbs.
- Heat up the frying pan and add the sunflower oil.
- Fry the chicken schnitzels on both sides for about 2 minutes on each side until golden, then remove from the pan and place on a kitchen towel to remove the excess oil.
- Serve hot or cold with any sauce.
Notes
- It is crucial to have the chicken breasts cut thinly or tenderised really well, otherwise it won't cook through.
- Make sure the pan is not set over a too high heat, otherwise the outside will brown too quickly, while the inside is still raw.
