In about 12 minutes, make homemade chicken schnitzel! A fraction of the calories and with all the flavor and crunch of deep-fried schnitzel. Find out how simple it is to create this!
It’s great to keep a few quick recipes on hand for those times when you’re very busy. And this one just nails it. Homemade, crunchy chicken schnitzel is one of those dishes that is sure to please everyone, including picky eaters!
Everyone enjoys crunchy, fried foods, after all. Nobody that I have ever met does not enjoy fried foods. They may be the health-conscious type, but they still claim to love fried foods; they just seem to have more restraint than I do.

- Spread mayonnaise and mustard on the chicken,
- Top with panko bread crumbs, spritz with oil, and
- Broil for only 8 minutes on high, or until golden.
Make a fast salad while it’s broiling, reheat up some bread rolls, and presto! In about 12 minutes, dinner will be ready!
Not only do the mustard and mayo help the panko adhere to the chicken, but they also give it flavor. Additionally, the mayonnaise’s oil contributes to the panko’s lovely, crunchy, and golden color.
I also prepare fish and veal schnitzel using this method. In fact, it works particularly well with fish, as in this nutritious fish with parmesan and garlic crust.
Goodness in crumbed form. Isn’t it wonderful that you may satisfy your craving without the shame and mess of deep frying?
I always make this dish for my weekly midweek meals. I do hope you try it!
