Ready in under 15 minutes, this chicken schnitzel recipe features tender breast fillets under a coating of crispy golden breadcrumbs. Perfect for a quick and easy dinner. Watch how I make this in my kitchen in the video below!
Place the chicken breasts between saran wrap and pound into 1/4 inch thickness.
Add the flour, salt, and pepper in one bowl, eggs in another bowl, and the bread crumbs in a third bowl.
Moving quickly, dip the chicken in the flour mix, followed by the eggs, and then the bread crumbs. Shake off the excess from each breast.
Add oil to a non-stick pan. Once hot, fry the chicken for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove the chicken once golden brown. Place the chicken on a wire rack for maximum crispiness.
