Who doesn't love fried food? Well I do, but sometimes to much of a good thing isn't so good for us. My baked schnitzel is an alternative way to make a fabulous chicken dish without the fry part. It taste delicious and still has the crunch as if it had been fried. I think a healthier option. Top with your favorite sauces or dressing; capers and butter, light ranch, there are endless ways to dress it up to please your palate. I love it just the way I bake it with a squeeze of lemon on top. Super tasty all on its own.
Ingredients:
3 Eggs, make egg wash adding a splash of water, beat together
1 cup flour
4-6 thin cut chicken breast, then pounded
2 cups Panko
2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon sea salt
2 tablespoon Italian seassoning
Pre heat oven to 400 degrees bake 35 minutes
Direction:
Prepare baking sheet with foil or parchment paper, set aside
Pound out chicken breast evenly, then prepare three separate shallow dishes approx. 8 inches wide and add separately these ingredients: 1. Flour 2. Egg Wash 3. Panko with all seasoning mixed together
Dredge each piece of chicken starting with flour, then egg wash and final step Panko making sure the chicken is covered completely
Spray baking sheet with non stick spray, Place prepared chicken on baking sheet
Very important! After the dredging refrigerate chicken for 30 minutes before baking
In preheated oven, bake 25 minutes and flip bake for another 10 minutes
Serve hot or cold. Top or serve on side your favorite sauce or dressing, lemon wedges, garnish with fresh parsley. Be creative and Enjoy!
