Crispy Chicken Schnitzel
You will love this chicken recipe that has always been one of my favorites! It seems that everyone in my family prepares Schnitzel the same way, and it’s exactly how I love it. Thin, crispy and flavorful. I love eating my schnitzel with mashed potatoes and a chopped salad. The day after I love my schnitzel served cold in pita bread with a little bit of hummus spread inside.
You’ll need:
Makes 4 schnitzels
2 whole chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
1 lemon
1 clove of garlic
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1 cup bread crumbs
½ cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
¼ cup vegetable oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
How to:
Place chicken breasts on cutting board and cut each chicken breast lengthwise in half. Place a plastic film on top of the chicken and use a mallet to pound it on both sides.
WASH HANDS
Using a fork, place the pounded chicken in a container and pour the juice of the squeezed lemon on top of it. Add the crushed garlic clove. Place the lid on top of the container and shake well before placing in the fridge. Marinating is not necessary but if you have the time then let it stay in the fridge for a couple of hours.
Place flour in shallow bowl and add the salt and pepper by mixing it with index finger. Place eggs in another shallow bowl and beat them.
Place the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese in a third bowl and use index finger to mix. Using a fork place the chicken breast in the flour and make sure both sides are evenly coated. Then place the chicken in the egg and make sure it’s coated evenly. Next step is coating the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture. Heat vegetable oil in frying pan on medium high, and once you place a bit of bread mixture inside and it sizzles, go ahead and place the chicken. Fry evenly on both sides until golden brown. When ready, place on paper towel to absorb fat.
Your Schnitzel is ready!
