Notes

A dark colored pan will brown the bottom side of the breaded chicken without the need to turn the pieces over half way the cooking time. If you don´t have it, turn the chicken once half way the cooking time.

Serve the breaded chicken with potato wedges and salad. Bake the chicken at the same time than the wedges.

You can also serve chicken schnitzels in a bread roll with sliced tomato and lettuce.

The breaded chicken could be fried in oil or cooked in the air fryer.

You can flavor the bread crumbs wiht a variety of condiments such as grated lemon rind, garlic salt, chopped parsley and more.

You could substitute bread crubms for crushed corn flakes or a mixture of both.
