Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Cajun spice mix
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 large eggs
- vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Place the flour into a large flat plate. Add the Cajun spice mix, add the salt and pepper. Mix through.
- Place the bread crumbs into another large flat plate.
- In a deep plate slightly whisk the eggs.
- Take one chicken breast, wrap it in some food plastic wrap. Flatten it out with a steak hammer. Like in the picture.
- Now take the flattened chicken breast and coat with the prepared flour on all sides.Then dip it into the whisked egg.Now coat with bread crumbs on all sides.
- Heat up the oil in a large frying pan/skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breast until golden brown on both sides and the chicken is cooked through. This will take about 6-7 minutes per side. Repeat for all the remaining chicken breasts.Depending on the size of the pan and the chicken schnitzels, it might be better to do one at a time, not to overcrowd the frying pan.
- Once the schnitzels are done, transfer to the paper towel, to absorb excess oil.Serve warm with a side of potato salad, or fresh veggie salad, or any side dish you prefer.Enjoy!
