Ingredients (serves 4):
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil, for frying
Cooking Tips:
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before breading and frying to ensure even cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve with a side of lemon wedges for a bright, citrusy flavor.
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200°F.
2. Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create 8 thin cutlets.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper.
4. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
5. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, feta cheese, parsley, dill, chives, and salt and pepper.
6. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
7. Dip the chicken in the beaten eggs, then coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the mixture onto the chicken to adhere.
8. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
9. Working in batches, add the chicken cutlets to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
10. Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you cook the remaining cutlets.
11. Serve the Herbed Feta Schnitzel hot, garnished with lemon wedges and additional herbs, if desired.
