Serves:
Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp capers
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
-
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
-
In separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
-
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dip each breast into the flour, then the beaten eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
-
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, add the capers and cook for about 1 minute. Add the lemon juice and cook for an additional minute.
-
To serve, place the chicken schnitzel on a plate and spoon the brown butter caper sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
