Ingredients

• Boneless chicken breast - 2 pieces (about 300g each)
• All-purpose flour - 1/2 cup (65g)
• Egg - 1 large, beaten
• Breadcrumbs - 1 cup (100g)
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 1/2 cup (120ml) for frying
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Chicken broth - 1 cup (240ml)
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Cornstarch - 1 tablespoon, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the schnitzel. Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness.
2. In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour mixed with salt, pepper, and paprika; one with the beaten egg; and one with breadcrumbs.
3. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
4. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
6. Pour in the chicken broth and soy sauce, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the cornstarch mixture to thicken the gravy, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until it reaches the desired consistency.
7. Serve the schnitzel hot, generously topped with the gravy and garnished with fresh parsley.
