👨‍🍳 निर्देश

1. 1

   Prepare the chicken: If not already thin, pound the chicken breasts to an even 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   Set up breading stations: Prepare three shallow bowls. In the first, combine flour, paprika, and 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper. In the second, whisk the eggs with water and a pinch of salt. In the third, mix breadcrumbs and sesame seeds (if using).

3. 3

   Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip in the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Finally, press into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly.

4. 4

   Fry the schnitzel: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot (a breadcrumb should sizzle), carefully place a few schnitzels in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.

5. 5

   Drain and serve: Transfer the fried schnitzel to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Season with a little more salt if desired. Serve hot, often with lemon wedges and Israeli salad.
