Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by pounding the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures they cook evenly.
- Season both sides of each chicken breast with a dash of salt and black pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow dish.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and mustard until well combined.
- In a third shallow dish, spread out the bread crumbs.
- Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
- Next, dip it into the egg-mustard mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Finally, dredge it in the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts on a plate.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and butter over medium heat until hot but not smoking.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. The chicken should be cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is cooking, chop the fresh parsley.
- Cut the lemon into wedges.
- Once the chicken schnitzels are cooked, transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the schnitzels.
- Serve the chicken schnitzels hot, with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the top.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Use a plastic wrap to cover the chicken while pounding to prevent any mess.
- For a more flavorful schnitzel, you can marinate the chicken breasts in mustard for a few hours before breading and frying.
- Ensure the oil and butter are hot enough before adding the chicken to the pan to achieve a crispy coating.
- Don't overcrowd the pan; cook the schnitzels in batches if necessary to maintain the temperature of the oil and butter.
- Drain the cooked schnitzels on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- For a healthier option, you can bake the breaded chicken in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
