Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh sage
• 2 tablespoons Fresh rosemary
• 4 cloves Garlic cloves
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 2 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Place the chicken breasts between two layers of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to about 1/4-inch thickness. Set aside.

Step 2

Finely chop the fresh sage, rosemary, and garlic and set aside.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the all-purpose flour. In the second dish, whisk the eggs with the milk. In the third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped sage, rosemary, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

Season the pounded chicken breasts lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken so they adhere well. Set the breaded chicken aside on a plate.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (test by dropping a small piece of breadcrumb into the oil – it should sizzle), carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Cook each schnitzel for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel–lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve the chicken schnitzel hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
