Ingredients
500g chicken breast fillet
1 cup plain flour
(150g)
3 eggs
lightly beaten
½ cup milk
(125ml)
3 cups panko breadcrumbs
vegetable oil
for shallow frying
Equipment
- 1 frying pan
- 1 shallow bowls
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breast into 5mm thick slices.
- Set up a crumbing station by placing the flour, eggs mixed with milk and breadcrumbs into three shallow bowls.
- Take each piece of chicken and coat in flour, dip into egg-wash and then gently coat in panko crumbs.
- Heat oil in a frying pan over high heat and fry the chicken pieces for 3-4 minutes or until golden on both sides and cooked through. Place cooked pieces onto kitchen towel to drain excess oil.
Notes
Tip
You need a light touch with panko crumbs. You don't need to press them into the chicken, just dip and coat.
Tip
You can also deep-fry these in very hot oil.
Tip
You can find panko breadcrumbs in the Asian food section of your local supermarket.
Variation
You can make this schnitzel into a cheese-y Chicken parmigiana for a slight variation.
Variation
If you are fond of an extra crunchy schnitzel then give this Crunchy chicken schnitzel a go.
Variation
If you think you need a flavour boost then add some garlic like we have in this Garlic chicken schnitzel.
Variation
Healthy chicken schnitzel is almost a contradiction but we have managed to reduce the fat in this one.
