Ingredients For Baked Chicken Schnitzel Recipes
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as desired
6 chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise (butterflied)
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¾ cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground paprika
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
1 large lemon, zested
Instructions: Baked Chicken Schnitzel Recipes
Step 1: Gather all ingredients.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over foil. Place the baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.
Step 3: Meanwhile, place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Mix flour and paprika together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper together in a second shallow bowl. Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together in a third shallow bowl.
Step 5: Dredge one piece of chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded chicken, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Step 6: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange chicken in a single layer on the hot sheet. Drizzle more olive oil over each piece.
Step 7: Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the breading is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
What a damn mess! Any advice to oil a cooking sheet in an oven at 425 degrees is just an invitation for the smoke alarm to wail away. And if it splatters it’s the gift that keeps on giving in the oven. The the whole thing out.
Super recipe loved by everyone 3 to 75! Made exactly as directed. Thank you!
I followed the recipe exactly and they were bland with no flavor. Not sure what went wrong.
This was tender and delicious! I used thin sliced chicken breasts because I'm no good at flattening them out!! Served with chicken gravy, rice, and a sir fry of snow peas, carrots, mushroom, and bell pepper. Will be on my regular rotation! Thank you for the recipe!!
Easy, delicious, and have made it several times because it is so good and the family loves it.
Very good and easy. I will make this again!
I seasoned my own breadcrumbs with basil, sage, oregano and thyme. Delicious. I love that it's baked in the oven, less oily and still crunchy.
My husband would eat this dish every day!
Came out great for me using a gas oven. I didnt have panko and ended up using crushed up croutons and ruffles potato chips. Pounded the chicken in a freezer bag with my fists in place of a meat tenderizer. Also used way more than 1 tspn olive oil and lemon pepper in place of lemon zest, couldnt really taste it tho. Added some extra baking time as well because my sides were not done yet and it still came out juicy. Will definitely make again, with lemons tho next time. I am pretty slow with the prep work so it took a while to make.
