Garlic Sesame Schnitzel
That’s easy schnitzel that takes half the time to prepare. This is easiest and quickest way to get crispy baked chicken schnitzel on the table.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts (1 ½ lbs), cut into strips
- 1-1¼ cups homestyle breadcrumbs (such as Osem, or cornflake crumbs)
- ½ cup oil
- ½ cup sesame seeds
- ¾ tsp salt
- dash black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves, crushed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Combine bread crumbs, oil, sesame seeds, salt, pepper, and garlic. (If you don’t want to use sesame seeds, add the equivalent amount of bread crumbs.) Place chicken pieces in breadcrumbs mixture, coating chicken well with crumbs.
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Place chicken strips on baking sheets, making sure they aren't too close to each other. Bake covered for 10 minutes. Uncover for an additional 10-14 minutes, until edges are golden and chicken is cooked through.
Notes
*If you are using bone-in chicken, remove chicken skin and coat well with breadcrumb mixture. Bake at 375°F uncovered for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
*I like to use Osem’s crumbs, which are golden in color and have a slightly thicker texture.
*You can easily fry this instead of baking. It’s obviously good.
