Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1.5 cups breadcrumb
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil
- 4 pieces brioche buns
- 4 leaves lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 half lemon
Instructions
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create two thinner pieces.
Place each piece between plastic wrap and pound to a 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet.
On a plate, mix the flour with salt, black pepper, and paprika.
Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl.
Place the breadcrumbs on another plate.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure each piece is evenly coated with each layer.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the schnitzels in the hot oil in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 minutes on each side.
Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Lightly toast the brioche buns.
Spread mayonnaise generously on each half of the toasted buns.
Layer each bun with a piece of schnitzel, a slice of tomato, a lemon squeeze for extra zing, and a lettuce leaf.
Top with the other half of the bun and serve immediately.
