Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise for dressing
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard for dressing
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce for dressing
  • 1 clove garlic minced (for dressing)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese for dressing
  • Salt and pepper to taste for dressing

Method
 

  1. Begin by preparing the chicken. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  2. Set up a breading station: In one shallow dish, place the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second dish, whisk the eggs. In a third dish, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. While the chicken is frying, prepare the Caesar dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and Parmesan cheese in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve the crispy chicken schnitzel drizzled with Caesar dressing or on a bed of greens with extra dressing on the side.

Notes

  • For a healthier option, bake the breaded chicken in a preheated oven at 400°F for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
  • Add a twist by incorporating chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil into the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
