A delightful gluten-free twist on the classic chicken schnitzel, perfect for a quick and satisfying meal.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thin pieces.
Using a sharp knife ensures clean cuts and even pieces.
Place the chicken pieces between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a rolling pin to flatten.
Flattening the chicken ensures even cooking and a tender texture.
Set up three bowls: one with gluten-free flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, parmesan, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper.
Organizing the coating stations beforehand makes the process smoother.
Coat each chicken piece in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure a thorough coating.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain the oil temperature.
Serve the schnitzels with lemon wedges and your choice of sides.
Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the schnitzels for a burst of flavor.
