Pan Fried Chicken Schnitzel Style Recipes

HäHNCHEN SCHNITZEL (GERMAN PAN FRIED BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese. Place chicken cutlets between two sheets of waxed paper and beat as thinly as possible with a meat mallet. Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick. For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels. Heat butter until melted and add wine. Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes. Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

BAKED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over foil. Place baking sheet in preheated oven.
• Flatten chicken breasts so they are all about 1/4-inch thick. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix flour and paprika together on a large plate. Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together on a separate large plate. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then egg, and then bread crumbs mixture and set aside in 1 layer on a clean plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and arrange chicken in 1 layer on the sheet. Drizzle more olive oil over each piece of coated chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the breading is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
