Chicken Schnitzel

September 16, 2021 By Liza Cannata 2 Comments

Much healthier and tastier than your average chicken fingers, this is an easy, fresh weeknight meal that is perfect for the whole family. I use almond meal to keep it gluten-free, but you can certainly use breadcrumbs.  Also, feel free to cut the chicken into tenders so it’s more kid-friendly.

Combine almond meal, lemon zest and parmesan in a large, shallow bowl.
Whisk eggs, parsley, garlic salt and pepper in a separate, shallow bowl.

Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in almond meal mixture, patting it on to help it stick.

Heat olive oil in non-stick pan over medium heat.
Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer to platter and serve with sliced lemon slices.
