Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Bread crumbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
- 1 Lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes. Place the flour in the first dish. In the second dish, whisk the eggs and almond milk together. In the third dish, combine bread crumbs and paprika.
Step 4
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat with the bread crumbs, pressing them to adhere well.
Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot, carefully place chicken pieces in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid crowding the pan.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked chicken schnitzels to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with lemon wedges on the side.
