A beloved Israeli comfort food, chicken schnitzel features thinly sliced chicken breast coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then fried to a golden crisp. It's a simple yet satisfying dish, often served with a side of Israeli salad.
🧂 Ingrediënten
- 1 lb Boneless, skinless chicken breast(thinly sliced or pounded to 1/4-inch thickness)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tbsp Water
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs(or panko for extra crispiness)
- 1 tsp Salt(divided, plus more to taste)
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper(divided, plus more to taste)
- 1 tbsp Paprika
- 1 tbsp Sesame seeds(optional)
- 0.5 inch Vegetable oil(for frying)
👨🍳 Instructies
- 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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
💡 Pro Tips
- ✓For extra crispy schnitzel, use panko breadcrumbs.
- ✓Don't overcrowd the pan when frying, as this will lower the oil temperature and result in greasy schnitzel.
- ✓Frying the schnitzel just before serving ensures the best texture.
