Ingredients

• 4 pieces Thinly sliced chicken cutlets
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Parsley
• 1 whole Lemon
• 0.25 cup Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Set up a breading station by placing the gluten-free flour in a shallow dish. In a second dish, beat the eggs with water. In a third dish, combine gluten-free breadcrumbs with paprika, garlic powder, and parsley.

Step 3

Dredge each chicken piece in the gluten-free flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. It's important to have enough oil in the pan to evenly fry the schnitzels, so adjust the oil quantity if necessary.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the breaded schnitzels to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary.

Step 6

Fry each schnitzel for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 7

Remove schnitzels from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 8

Before serving, squeeze fresh lemon juice over the schnitzel for added zest or serve lemon wedges on the side.

Step 9

Garnish with more fresh parsley if desired.
