Sizzled Chicken Schnitzel is a classic comfort food that originated in Austria but has become a worldwide favorite. It is made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs then fried until crispy. The end result is tender, juicy chicken encrusted in a crunchy exterior that packs a flavorful punch. This recipe puts a healthier spin on the traditional schnitzel by using whole wheat flour and lean chicken breasts, but still offers the same delicious taste and comfort factor that you know and love. Serve your schnitzel over a salad or with your favorite sides.

Instructions

1.Mix the flour, basil, salt and pepper in a shallow dish.
2.Coat each of the chicken breasts in the mixture until covered evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
3.Beat the egg in a separate shallow dish.
4.Dip each flour-coated chicken breast into the egg mixture, and then coat in breadcrumbs. Press gently to make sure the breadcrumbs stick.
5.In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until hot.
6.Add the coated chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, around 5 minutes per side. Serve immediately.
