German Chicken Schnitzel aka Chicken Cutlet


Ingredients:
2 chicken breast ~ sliced halves
1 cup plain flour + salt + pepper
1-2 eggs + 1/4 cup milk
2 cups breadcrumbs/panko
2 cups vegetable oil

Directions:
  1. Place the chicken breasts on a chopping board & use a sharp knife to slice horizontally through the breasts to create 2-3 thin, even slices per breast.  Flatten the slices with a meat mallet.
  2. Layout three-wide bowls.  Put the flour in one & season it with salt & pepper.  In another, beat the egg with milk.  Place the breadcrumbs in the other.
  3. Using one hand, lightly coat each piece of chicken in the flour, shaking off the excess.  Dip into the egg then coat with breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat a deep frying pan with the oil & fry the schnitzels 1 or 2 at a time, cooking until golden brown on each side.  When cooked, stand upright in a deep bowl lined with a paper towel to drain.  Cook the remaining schnitzels.
