Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken Schnitzel

    Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet. Season with salt and pepper.

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

  4. 4

    Fry the Chicken

    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken schnitzels for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
