Directions
Preheat your oven to 425˚F (220˚C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Flatten the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness with a meat mallet.
Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
Set up 3 shallow dishes. In the first one, place flour. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
Coat each chicken piece in flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the chicken schnitzel with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley.
