• Step 1 - Prepare the chicken: Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Place them between two sheets of parchment or plastic wrap and gently pound them with a mallet until they are evenly thin.
  2 large Chicken breast cutlets, ½ tsp Kosher salt, ½ tsp Black pepper
• Seasoning - In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, paprika, garlic, and onion powder. Use this mixture to season the chicken, flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs below.
• Season the chicken: sprinkle the prepared seasoning on both sides of the chicken and set aside.

Step 2 - Set up your breading station

• Plate 1: Flour with seasoning mixture

  Plate 2: Beaten egg with seasoning mixture

  Plate 3 - Breadcrumbs with seasoning mixture.
• Step 3: Bread the chicken: Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly to help it stick.
• Step 4: Pan-fry: Heat 1–2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the schnitzels for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Do not overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if needed.
  4 tbsp Cooking oil
• Step 5: Drain and serve: Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges, ketchup, or garlic mayo. Great with salad, rice, or mashed potatoes.
