Eggless Chicken Schnitzel
I hate using eggs in breading unless really really necessary. This recipe calls for milk and the crumbs don't fall off the chicken.
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless Chicken Breasts Cut lengthwise and dried using paper towels
Dredge Station 1
- 1 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 TSP Salt
Dredge Station 2
- 1 1/2 cup Bread crumbs you can use Panko crumbs
- 1 TSP Salt
- 1/2 TSP Black Pepper
- 1 TSP Paprika
Instructions
- Wash your chicken with water and vinegar and allow it to dry completely.
- Use paper towels to remove excess moisture and cut lengthwise.
- In a bowl big enough to fit a chicken breast, mix the milk and salt.
- Also in a big enough bowl to fit a chicken breast, mix the bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and Paprika
- Working one chicken breast at a time, soak in milk, and then press down in the bread crumbs.
- Make sure it's fully coated with the bread crumbs before repeating with others.
- Cover with cling film and allow it to sit in the fridge for 30 minutes so the coating sticks properly.
- Take it out of the fridge 15 minutes before frying to ensure a tender and soft finish.
- Fry until golden and serve with garlic dip or fries.
