12 Minute Chicken Schnitzel
Well, not sure about 12 minutes, but this is quick! This sounds good, and unlike traditional schnitzel that is deep fried, this is baked. These are juicy and have a bit of crunch like the deep fried version. And this is very low cost. On my to cook list for sure.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast
- mayo
- Dijon mustard
- panko breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper, to taste
- olive oil, in a spray bottle or oil mister
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler to High setting and place the rack 8 inches from the heat source. Don't have a built in over with a broiler? No problem, just use your oven (go with a 180 C oven and go from there) but watch the time and adjust as necessary to make sure the chicken is cooked through as well as golden brown. Only have a counter top oven, such as me? No problem, use the middle rack and the top coil only, start with 180 C and adjust as needed.
- Cut the chicken breast in half horizontally and pound to 1/3 inch thickness, an even thickness ensures even cooking. Place the chicken on a baking sheet then spread about a tablespoon or a bit more over the chicken, then spread about a tablespoon or a bit more of Dijon mustard over the mayo then season with salt and pepper to your liking. Sprinkle with some panko breadcrumbs and press into the mustard/mayo so it sticks well. Broil or bake for about 8 minutes or until golden brown.
- Serve with a vegetable and salad for a complete meal.
Notes
Minimal cost for 2 servings, well under $1 per serving, more like 20 cents per serving, if that, even with a salad and vegetable.
