Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Onion powder
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 1 for serving Lemon wedges
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until uniformly thin, about 1/4 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and almond milk until well combined. In the third dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then press into the panko mixture, patting both sides to adhere the coating.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each piece lightly with olive oil to help achieve a golden crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over the schnitzel for a bright, fresh flavor.
