Panko Coated Chicken Schnitzel Cutlet Food

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.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
• Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

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.

CRISPY PARMESAN-PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Combine the flour, dry mustard, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
• Beat the eggs in a separate shallow bowl.
• Combine the panko and Parmesan cheese in another shallow dish.
• Heat half the butter and half the oil in a large nonstick skillet over med-high heat.
• When the butter is melted, coat each chicken cutlet in the flour, then the egg, allowing excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the panko-Parmesan mixture and put it in the hot pan.
• About 3-4 chicken cutlets should fit in the pan at the same time.
• After about 2 minutes, rotate the chicken so it cooks evenly but don't flip it.
• After about 2 more minutes, flip the chicken, and do the same thing on the second side, rotating it once so the chicken cooks evenly throughout.
• Cook the rest of the chicken, adding the rest of the butter and olive oil as needed.
• Remove the cooked chicken to a paper towel-lined plate.
• While the chicken is cooking, combine the dijon mustard and honey in a small serving bowl.
• Serve the chicken with the honey mustard sauce for dipping.

CHICKEN WITH CRISPY PANKO COATING

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°.
• Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
• Combine the mayonnaise, honey mustard, thyme, and parsley.
• Spread over the chicken to coat thoroughly.
• Combine the panko, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, and paprika in bowl or pie plate.
• Press the chicken breasts in the bread crumb mixture, turning to coat thoroughly.
• Arrange chicken on the prepared baking pan.
• Bake for 25 minutes; turn and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until cooked through.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a baking pan with aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.
• Combine mayonnaise and paprika in a bowl; mix well.
• Mix panko and garlic powder together in another bowl.
• Spread mayonnaise-paprika mixture on each chicken thigh; press into panko mixture to coat. Place in the prepared baking pan; spritz thighs with cooking spray.
• Bake 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).

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!
