Chicken Schnitzel

Schnitzel reminds me of a flat chicken parm without the sauce and cheese. It is a German or Austrian dish. I really enjoyed this! You can substitute the chicken for pork or veal. I also made it gluten free. I would definitely make this again. It is very simple and doesn't take long to cook.

Ingredients

Skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Sea salt 

Black pepper
1 Cup of gluten free flour
1 Lemon
1 Teaspoon of garlic powder
2 Large eggs
2 Cups of gluten free panko breadcrumbs
Grape seed oil
Parsley

Directions

1. Place the chicken breasts in a plastic bag and pound them so they are about 1/2 inch thick (I used a hammer)
2. Prepare 3 bowls, one with flour, salt, pepper, and the garlic powder, one with whisked eggs and the last with the Panko bread crumbs
3. Place each piece of chicken in the flour and coat both sides
4. Next dunk the chicken into the whisked egg 
5. Then, coat it with the Panko breadcrumbs
6. Place a large skillet over medium high heat and add the grape seed oil

7. Once the oil is hot, place one piece of chicken into the pan and let it cook for 5 minutes (or longer) and then flip it over to finish cooking

8. Each piece should be golden brown on both sides
9. Remove the chicken to a paper towel lined plate and repeat the process with the remaining chicken

10. Once all the chicken is cooked, give it all a generous squeeze of lemon and a sprinkle of parlsey
