Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- olive oil spray
- 1 whole lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the gluten-free flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs with the milk. In the third dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Baked Chicken Schnitzel!
