Chicken Schnitzel Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• Salt and pepper
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
• Neutral oil vegetable or canola
• Fresh parsley chopped
• Fresh lemon wedges

Instructions

1. Flatten each chicken breast.  To do so, lay a chicken breast on a flat surface and cut it parallel to the cutting board so that there are two evenly sized pieces of chicken.  Cover with plastic wrap and lightly beat using a meat mallet until it is about 1/4"-1/2" thick.
2. Mix together flour, salt, and pepper in one bowl together.  Place panko in a separate bowl.  In a third bowl, beat together eggs and dijon mustard.
3. Cover each piece of chicken with flour, egg, and then panko.
   

   
   
4. Bring a deep pan filled with about 1/2" of a neutral oil in it to medium high heat.  Once the oil is hot enough that it sizzles when you drop a bread crumb in, place 2 pieces of chicken in the pan.  Cook until the bottom is golden brown and then flip.  Repeat with each piece of chicken.  Once the chicken is cooked, transfer to a cooling rack or a plate lined with paper towel.
5. Serve with a lemon wedge and a sprinkle of parsley on top.
