Calories: 323kcal
Ingredients
- 400 g Chicken Breast
- 1 cup All purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 3 Small Eggs
Spices
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Paprika Powder
- ½ tsp White Pepper
- 1 cup Sunflower oil
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Rinse chicken breasts under running water and pat dry. Trim excess fat and tendons. Horizontally cut each chicken breast in half, leaving about 1 cm intact to open it up for increased surface area. Use a meat mallet to tenderize the chicken gently, breaking down muscle fibers.
- Prepare the spices: In a bowl, mix flour with salt, garlic powder, paprika, and white pepper. Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with breadcrumbs, and one with whisked eggs.
- Add the coating: Coat the chicken with spice mixture, then dip in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Fry the chicken schnitzel: Heat oil in a pan over medium-low. Fry each schnitzel for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Let it rest and garnish: Place fried schnitzels on a meshed tray to drain excess oil. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve with sides for a delicious meal.
