Safta's Schnitzel


Ingredients:

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
2 cups bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp paprika
salt and pepper
lemon juice
canola oil

Directions:

1. Prepare the chicken breast by slicing it in half or pounding it to make it thin. Then, mix the chicken breast with the egg, lemon juice and a little bit of cumin and paprika and let sit in the refrigerator.

2. On a plate, mix the bread crumbs with the cumin, paprika, salt and pepper.

3. In a large pan, heat a thin layer of canola oil that covers the entire pan.

4. Once the oil is hot enough, dip the prepared chicken breasts in the bread crumbs and then in the oil. Cook for about 5 minutes.

5. When one side is nicely browned, flip the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes. The chicken will be done when you pierce it and no liquid is released.

6. Fry all of the chicken and serve alongside rice or Israeli cous cous. Enjoy!
