Chicken schnitzel breaded from breast in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 20 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make breaded chicken schnitzel from breast in a frying pan? Rinse the chicken fillet in running water and dry with a paper towel. Then cut lengthwise without cutting all the way through. This will result in one large piece of chicken meat.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the meat on a board and cover with cling film. Beat the meat with a culinary hammer. Thanks to the covered film, the edges of the piece will not tear and splashes of meat will not fly around the kitchen.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare three plates. Break an egg into one of them. Add some salt and pepper. And whisk it around. Pour flour into another, and breadcrumbs into the third.

4. STEP 4

   

   Dredge the chicken meat in flour, making sure it coats the meat on all sides. Then dip into the egg on both sides. By rolling in flour, the egg will stick to the meat better.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then roll the meat in breadcrumbs. Press the meat into the breadcrumbs more firmly to form a dense layer of breading.

6. STEP 6

   

   Pour a little vegetable oil into a frying pan and heat it until hot. Place chicken schnitzel in the hot oil. Fry it over high heat on both sides for 1-2 minutes on each. It will turn golden.

7. STEP 7

   

   Then turn the heat down and fry for another 3-4 minutes on each side. There is no need to cover with a lid, as a thick crispy crust should be preserved. Serve chicken schnitzel as an independent dish, which in itself is very satisfying. Or add any side dish or fresh vegetables. Bon appetit!

Battered chicken chops are another easy option. The fillet also turns out juicy.

I cut up the chicken and left the breast to make schnitzel. I cut half the breast into two parts, then beat it with a culinary mallet. My schnitzel blanks turned out to be quite thin. I did not salt the meat separately. I only added salt to the beaten egg. For my taste, this was enough. I dipped the pieces in flour, then in egg and breadcrumbs. I fried chicken schnitzel breaded from the breast in a frying pan. First, cook over medium heat for 2 minutes on each side until crispy. Then cook for another 4 minutes on low heat until the meat is cooked through. It turned out very tasty! This is probably the best thing you can make from chicken breast! The meat turned out soft and juicy. The breading is crispy, appetizing, with a pleasant bready taste, which perfectly complements the chicken. Thank you very much for the recipe!
