Panko Spiced Chicken Schnitzel Recipes

PANKO CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Slice chicken breasts horizontally (or pound) to about 1cm/½inch thick.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Pour enough oil (for shallow frying) into a skillet or heavy-based frying pan. Preheat the oil on medium-high heat. (note 1)
• Set up a coating station - 1 shallow bowl (or deep plate) for the eggs, 1 for the panko and 1 for the flour.
• Using a pair of tongs, coat a slice of chicken breast with flour. Shake off excess flour then dip and coat with whisked eggs. Finally, coat with panko breadcrumbs. Make sure the entire piece of chicken is completely coated by all 3 ingredients each step of the way.
• Repeat for all chicken slices.
• Shallow fry coated chicken pieces in 2 batches, on medium-high heat. Flipping only once. (note 2)
• Once both sides are golden, the chicken should be done. Test by cutting a piece if not sure. If the flesh is white then it's ready.
• Rest panko chicken schnitzel pieces on a cooling rack for 5 minutes before serving.

PANKO SPICED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Butterfly chicken breast and pound out the thickness of the butterflied breasts so that no parts of the breast are thicker than 1/4 inch.
• Combine flour, salt and RawSpiceBar's Schnitzel Spices in a wide bowl. Set breadcrumbs in separate plate. Whisk egg and add to separate bowl.
• Place each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, coating both sides, and shaking off any excess. Next, dunk the chicken into the eggs, draining excess liquid, then coat liberally with breadcrumbs until covered on all sides.
• Place large skillet over medium high heat and add butter. Once butter is melted, stir in parsley and lemon zest. Add one piece of chicken and let cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook other side to golden brown.
• Repeat with remaining chicken. Serve hot out of the pan and enjoy!

PANKO-COATED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH CAPERS AND LEMON

Steps:

• Set the flour, eggs and panko in three separate shallow bowls. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs and coat thoroughly with the panko, pressing lightly to adhere.
• In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/4 cup of the canola oil. Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook over moderately high heat until browned and nutty, about 4 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and parsley; spoon over the chicken and serve.

PANKO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Crack both eggs into a similar bowl, add the water, and whisk with a fork until they take on a uniform consistency. Place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl, add adobo seasoning and rosemary, and mix. Set the bowls so the flour is on the left, the egg wash is in the center, and the bread crumbs are on the right.
• Dredge both sides of thighs in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, turning over to coat both sides. Let excess drip off. Drop into bread crumbs, rolling to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The chicken should move from bowl to bowl in a line from left to right, with no jumps back left. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Bake thighs in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

PANKO CHICKEN TENDERS WITH LEMON-NUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine flour, salt, and pepper with a fork in a bowl. Beat egg in a second bowl. Place panko in a third bowl.
• Dust chicken tenders with flour mixture to coat. Drench in egg, then in panko until completely coated.
• Bring oil up to sizzling in a large frying pan. Add tenders and fry until golden brown on the outside, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 3 to 5 minutes per side.
• Remove tenders to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle with Pecorino Romano cheese.
• Melt butter in a small saucepan. Add walnuts and saute for 1 minute. Transfer walnut-butter mixture to a food processor; add lemon juice and parsley. Pulse or puree to preferred consistency. Season with salt and pepper. Serve sauce with warm tenders.
