Method
0 of 9 done- Place the chicken breast between two sheets of cling film and gently pound it with a meat mallet or rolling pin until it is about 1 cm thick.
- Set up a breading station with three wide, shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish, the beaten egg in the second, and the breadcrumbs mixed with a pinch of salt, black pepper, and optional paprika in the third.
- Lightly season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper on both sides.
- Dredge the chicken breast in the flour, making sure to coat both sides and shake off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Press the chicken breast into the breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to help them adhere.
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breast and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the chicken schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the chicken schnitzel hot, with a squeeze of lemon juice over the top if desired.
