To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried basil
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1 lemon, sliced
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare the chicken by pounding it with a meat mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, oregano, thyme, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until cooked through.
Serve the Lemon Herb Schnitzel hot, garnished with lemon slices. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The crispy exterior of the chicken, combined with the tangy lemon and aromatic herbs, creates a mouthwatering flavor that is sure to impress.
