HOW TO MAKE BAKED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 220 degrees C or 425 degrees F.
Step 2: Use aluminium foil to line a large baking sheet and drizzle over with an ample amount of olive oil. Then, place inside the preheating oven.
Step 3: On a clean plate, lightly press the chicken breasts to flatten to about 1/4-inch thickness. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Step 4: Add the flour and paprika on a large pate and whisk until incorporated.
Step 5: Break the eggs in a medium shallow bowl, season with salt and pepper, and whisk until combined.
Step 6: Combine the bread crumbs and lemon zest on a different large plate.
Step 7: Coat the pieces of chicken in the flour mixture, then, soak in egg mixture, and dip in bread crumbs mixture.
Step 8: Into the prepared baking sheet, arrange the dipped and coated chicken breasts and drizzle with more olive oil.
Step 9: Bake in the preheated oven for about 5 to 6 minutes or until cooked through.
Step 10: Once done, take them out of the oven and serve. Enjoy!
Note:
You can use panko instead of seasoned bread crumbs.
