Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 Eggs
• 1 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
• 0.25 cups Olive oil or vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound each breast to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

In a third shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, if using.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned flour mixture, coating both sides and shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Next, dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating. Set each coated piece aside on a clean plate.

Step 8

Heat the olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 9

Add the schnitzels to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook each piece for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side and enjoy!
