Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  2. 2

    Place each chicken breast between plastic wrap and gently pound to 1/4 inch thickness.

  3. 3

    Set up a breading station with three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and paprika.

  4. 4

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in eggs, and press into breadcrumb mixture.

  5. 5

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a baking sheet; bake in the oven for 10 minutes.

  7. 7

    Prepare the sauce in the same skillet by melting butter and stirring in flour to make a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and simmer until thickened.

  8. 8

    Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper.

  9. 9

    Serve chicken with sauce and garnish with chopped parsley.

Chef's tip

For a lighter option, try baking the schnitzel entirely instead of frying.
