How To Make chicken schnitzel

  • 1
    Cut chicken breasts in half, lengthwise, halving the thickness. Place a half in a gallon zipper bag or between two pieces of plastic wrap. With a meat hammer, pound out until 1/8" thick. Repeat with each breast half. Often times I will do this the night before and marinate the chicken in Italian dressing overnight in the fridge. It just adds an extra layer of flavor.
  • 2
    Place flour, salt, and pepper in a dish. Mix egg and milk in a separate dish. Mix bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and thyme in a third dish. (I use 8" baking pans or pie plates for all 3)
  • 3
    Heat butter and oil in a skillet, on medium-high.
  • 4
    Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip into egg mixture, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture.
  • 5
    Saute breaded chicken piece in skillet 3-4 minutes on each side, until dark golden brown. Serve with lemon wedges.
