    🥩 Juicy Chicken Schnitzel-Style Cutlets

    " Ingredients:

    For the chicken:
    * Chicken breasts " 500 g
    * Salt " to taste
    * Ground black pepper " to taste
    * Granulated garlic " to taste

    For the batter:
    * Eggs " 3 pcs
    * Garlic " 2 cloves, minced or pressed
    * Salt " 0.5 tsp
    * Ground black pepper " 0.5 tsp
    * Chili flakes " 1 tsp
    * Italian herbs " 1 tsp
    * Flour " 6 tbsp
    * Cornstarch " 1 tbsp
    * Greek yogurt " 2 tbsp
    * Mustard " 1 tsp

    For frying:
    * Vegetable oil " for frying

    " Preparation:

    1. Slice the chicken breasts lengthwise into thinner cutlets.

    2. Gently pound or flatten the chicken pieces so they are even in
    thickness. This helps them cook quickly and stay juicy.

    3. Season the chicken on both sides with salt, ground black pepper,
    and granulated garlic.

    4. In a bowl, break the eggs.

    5. Add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, chili flakes, and
    Italian herbs.

    6. Add the flour and cornstarch, then mix until the batter starts to
    come together.

    7. Add the Greek yogurt and mustard. Whisk everything well until you
    get a thick, smooth batter.

    8. Place each seasoned chicken cutlet into the batter and coat it
    well on both sides.

    9. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.

    10. Place the coated chicken pieces into the hot oil.

    11. Fry the cutlets on both sides until golden brown and cooked
    through.

    12. Transfer the finished cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels
    to remove excess oil.

    13. Serve hot with your favorite sauce, salad, mashed potatoes, rice,
    or vegetables.

    " Notes:

    * This recipe is schnitzel-style, but it uses a thick seasoned batter
    instead of the classic breadcrumb coating.

    * Slice the chicken evenly so all pieces cook at the same speed.

    * Do not leave the chicken too thick, or the outside may brown before
    the inside is fully cooked.

    * Greek yogurt helps make the batter tender and gives it a slight
    tang.

    * Mustard adds flavor and balances the richness of the fried coating.

    * Cornstarch helps make the coating lighter and a little crispier.

    * Let extra batter drip off slightly before placing the chicken in
    the pan.

    * Fry over medium heat so the coating turns golden without burning.

    * If the cutlets brown too quickly, lower the heat slightly.

    * The chicken is fully cooked when the internal temperature reaches
    165°F / 74°C.

    * Serve right away for the best texture.

    ' Summary:

    * This is similar to a chicken cutlet or schnitzel-style fried
    chicken breast, but with a seasoned yogurt-mustard batter instead of breadcrumbs.

    * Granulated garlic can be replaced with garlic powder.

    * Greek yogurt can be replaced with sour cream if needed.

    * Chili flakes can be reduced or omitted for a milder version.

    * Italian herbs usually mean a dried herb mix such as basil, oregano,
    thyme, rosemary, or marjoram.

    '-
    Nest time it is - I was able to get a nice schnitzel style oil wash
    crust on them.
    But it's that dijon and yogurt egg wash that nails it.
    Dash of lemon juice over - my oh my.
