For the Schnitzel:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying

For the Mediterranean Salad:

- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup chopped cucumber
- 1/2 cup chopped red onion
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh mint
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- Salt and pepper to taste
To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. Then, prepare the chicken by pounding it to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Set up three shallow bowls for the breading process. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, beat the eggs. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it well. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add enough olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan. 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.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the Mediterranean salad. In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, parsley, mint, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Toss to combine.
To serve, place a chicken breast on each plate and top with a generous helping of the Mediterranean salad. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner or a special occasion. The Mediterranean Schnitzel is a mouthwatering combination of crispy chicken and fresh Mediterranean flavors that will leave you wanting more.
