Oven Baked Chicken Schnitzel
Recipe from Nagi & Dozer - RecipeTin Eats · original post · full recipe on recipetineats.com
Using the tried-and-loved method from Truly Crunchy Baked Chicken Tenders, these oven-baked schnitzels really are golden and crunchy all over, without overcooking the chicken inside! It's also pretty great that you can pull 4 hot schnitzels out of the oven rather than frying one-by-one. The trick is to toast the panko in the oven first (effortless!), then use an extra-strong egg-and-flour dredge so the crumbs stick well, and bake for just 13 minutes in a hot oven. Marinate the chicken in the egg mixture if you can for extra flavour and juiciness. But it's still worth making if you don't!
