Ingredients

Scale

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 tsp paprika

  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and black pepper (to taste)

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tbsp water

  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs

  • Vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions


  1. Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness (¼–½ inch) using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

    • Bowl 1: Mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    • Bowl 2: Whisk eggs with water until smooth.

    • Bowl 3: Add panko breadcrumbs.


  3. Coat each chicken breast in the following order: seasoned flour (shake off excess), egg wash, and breadcrumbs (press gently to adhere).


  4. Heat about 1½ inches of oil in a skillet to 360℉. Fry each schnitzel for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.


  5. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Sprinkle with salt while warm.

Notes

  • Garnish with lemon wedges and parsley. Pair with potato salad, coleslaw, or a crisp green salad for balance.

  • Keep schnitzels warm in a 200℉ oven if serving later.

  • Maintain oil temperature to avoid soggy or burnt schnitzels—use a thermometer for accuracy.

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350℉ oven for 10–15 minutes to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

  • Freeze cooked schnitzels individually wrapped for up to 3 months; reheat at 320℉ for about 20 minutes straight from frozen. For uncooked schnitzels, freeze breaded pieces flat on a baking sheet before transferring to freezer bags.

This easy-to-follow recipe ensures perfectly crispy schnitzels every time! Whether you’re cooking for family or friends, this dish is sure to impress!
