One ingredient does a world of wonders in upgrading the typical schnitzel dinner.
While on our daily walk one morning, my neighbor mentioned this new way she prepared some fish for her family. Walking recipes are ones that have to be simple enough to remember later. This one fit the bill. I filed it away in my brain as something to try.
Then I came home from my studio (B”H I have a quiet place to work for a couple of hours a day) to the defrosted chicken cutlets on my counter. While I started preparing our usual schnitzel, I decided to try the fish recipe but on chicken. And then I decided to tweak it as I went along. Of course, that meant I had to take some pictures in case it turned out well.
So I fried schnitzel, popped the new schnitzel recipe in the oven, put up some rice, and set up an impromptu little shoot in my kitchen – meaning I turned off the lights and put food on the floor and had to stop every member of the family from stepping on it.
Once the pictures were done, I gave everyone a piece to taste. It was a unanimous success. They were all disappointed that most of the chicken was made the regular way! So here you go – from recipe development, to tasting, to photography, to preparing the post – a winner chicken dinner!
- 1 cup corn flakes crumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp smoked paprika (the smoked was what made it amazing)
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons oil
- 1-2 lb thin sliced chicken breast
- Preheat oven to 350⁰F. Mix all spices and crumbs in a disposable 9x13 pan.
- Add oil and combine well with a gloved hand to form a sandy texture.
- Toss with thin sliced chicken and press on.
- Bake for 20-22 min.
Sounds delicious. But no eggs? Just coat in the crumbs?
That’s right! No eggs!
Thanks for another great recipe! It was a huge hit!
So happy to hear!
This was so simple to make and came out delicious ! Not a single piece left over – even one for mommy’s supper 😉 Pretty good for a baked schnitzel!
Poor Mommy! But yay for a successful supper!
Delicious clean and easy recipe! Especially loved the spice combination and used it as a rub for my roast chicken today which was a hit!

Thanks for a hit supper! This is my go to these days. I also make it without the brown sugar and just regular spices like I use to season my crumbs. Just add a bit of oil and dip cutlets in. Takes much less time then dipping in egg and crumbs… think I’ll try this on chicken legs as well…
I dont have corn flake crumbs can I use bread crumbs or pretzel crumbs?
Have you found a sub to the corn flakes? Following for that…
Easy and delicious
Could we have the original fish recipe please??
Everyone loved it…but did anyone find that they were too peppery?
Yes! I would definitely half the smoked paprika next time- my kids found it too spicy, but otherwise it was delicious!
can i do this on the grill?
Wow! This supper was a hit!! There aren’t many recipes that are so easy to prepare and ready to serve so fast! And Everyone loved it! Kids and adults alike. Best of all worlds! Thank you
Made this last night. It was a hit!
Thank you!
Can i also fry it? or will the crumbs come off?
This is a winner! My family loves this for supper
This chicken lived up to the hype. It was absolutely delicious and quick to make. Definitely going into the rotation. Thank you
