Giant Crispy Chicken Schnitzel

Ingredients

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) using the conventional top and bottom heat setting.
2. Blend the chicken breast in a food processor until it has the consistency of ground chicken.
3. Add the minced garlic, salt, paprika, and black pepper to the ground chicken and mix until the seasonings are evenly distributed.
4. Sprinkle flour generously over a sheet of parchment paper. Place the seasoned chicken mixture on top and spread it into one large, even layer.
5. Dust the top of the shaped chicken lightly and evenly with all-purpose flour.
6. Beat the eggs, then brush them evenly over the entire surface of the chicken.
7. Cover the entire surface generously with panko breadcrumbs, pressing them gently so they adhere to the chicken.
8. Place another sheet of parchment paper over the schnitzel and carefully flip the entire piece over.
9. Repeat the coating process on the second side by adding flour, brushing with beaten egg, and covering generously with panko breadcrumbs.
10. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil evenly over the breaded schnitzel to help the coating become golden and crisp in the oven.
11. Bake for 40–45 minutes, or until the chicken is completely cooked through and the panko coating is crisp and golden brown.
12. Let the schnitzel rest for a few minutes after baking, then slice it into portions and serve while the coating is still hot and crispy.
