  • Heat 1/2 to 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can also use a deep fryer.

  • Put chicken slices in the egg mixture and knead until fully coated. Press chicken in the bread crumbs until evenly coated.

  • Working in batches, carefully place chicken in the hot oil using tongs and cook until no longer pink in the center and browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

Cook's Note:

To double the crust on the chicken, dip chicken in bread crumbs 2 times.

Skip the oil and go for the healthy alternative of baking... Depending on how thick the chicken is after you pound it bake at 400 for 15 - 20 mins. Use an elevated rack so it comes out crispy. Used Italian bread crumbs. The wife freaking loved it !! Read More

I like the addition of the honey and Dijon it's like putting a honey mustard dipping sauce on the inside. I cooked up 5 chicken breasts which I flattened to all the same thickness. I wouldn't have had any more egg mixture left for a 6th one..let alone 12 . I would double that if making the full batch. Read More

I thought this was quite good. I made pork schnitzel before, but prefer chicken. I left off the salt and lemon wedges. Read More

I cut the recipe to two servings using one package of Costco's organic boneless skinless chicken breasts cut horizontally. I started to run out of the mixture to dip the chicken in so if you want to double dip I'd suggest doubling that part---or at least half again as much. We really liked the flavor of the breading because I did fry it in coconut oil and then rather than use lemon for serving we used a little drizzle of coconut white balsamic vinegar (yum) on top. We have some leftovers that will become a sandwich tomorrow night for our dinner. Thank you for a very welcome change for our dinner tonight! Read More
