Ingredients

• 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened almond milk
• 1.5 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0 as needed Vegetable oil for frying
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet to pound them to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix the gluten-free flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and dried oregano.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened almond milk.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs with the paprika.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure both sides are well coated with breadcrumbs.

Step 8

In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

Step 9

Fry the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Garnish the schnitzels with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
