Perfect for a special dinner or a comforting meal, this recipe brings gourmet touches to your home kitchen.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
1.1. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
1.2. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch (6mm).
2.1. In a shallow dish, place the flour.
2.2. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.
2.3. In a third shallow dish, combine the mozzarella, parmesan, cheddar, and bread crumbs. Mix well to ensure the cheeses are evenly distributed in the bread crumbs.
3.1. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
3.2. Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
3.3. Press the chicken into the cheese and bread crumb mixture, ensuring it is fully and evenly coated. Press down gently to ensure the coating adheres.
4.1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan (~1/4 inch deep).
4.2. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the skillet.
4.3. Fry the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
4.4. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
5.1. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, chopped capers, and fresh parsley. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
6.1. Plate the three-cheese chicken schnitzels and serve with a dollop of caper mayonnaise on the side or drizzled on top.
6.2. Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired.
Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly.
- Allow the breaded chicken to rest for a few minutes before frying; this helps the coating adhere better.
- Use a thermometer to check that the oil temperature is around 350°F (175°C) for optimal frying.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the chicken to maintain a consistent temperature and crisp coating.
- Let the cooked schnitzels drain on a wire rack rather than paper towels to keep the coating crisp.
Relish the delightful combination of crispy, cheesy chicken schnitzels paired with the bright and tangy caper mayonnaise. This dish is sure to become a favorite at your dining table, offering a perfect balance of textures and flavors that will leave everyone asking for seconds. Enjoy your culinary creation with a side of fresh greens or your favorite veggies for a complete meal.
