Oven Baked Chicken Schnitzel is an easy meal to make if you are looking for a healthy alternative to deep-frying.
Schnitzel is a thin slice of meat, pounded thin with a kitchen mallet. Usually, it is made with chicken, pork, or veal. However, people have enjoyed turkey, mutton, and beef schnitzels. The meat is breaded, and traditionally fried in oil. However, in this recipe, it is baked in the oven to make it a little bit healthier.
Baked schnitzel made with chicken is delicious. Imagine a breaded, crispy chicken tender, with a little bit of a citrusy flavor to it from the lemon zest. The zest is not overpowering, but it is a welcome addition to all the savory flavors of the breading and the chicken itself.
Baked schnitzel can be made earlier in the day if you are prepping for a party, or if you are making a large batch for your weekly meal prep. The schnitzel will keep fresh in the refrigerator for a few days.
You can store cooked schnitzel in the freezer. If you use an airtight container, you can freeze it and enjoy it later. Perfect for meal prepping!
Chicken Schnitzel pairs great with a side dish like Garlic Mashed Red Potatoes, or perhaps egg noodles with a little bit of butter and salt. Looking for something lighter? How about a little bit of apple sauce with schnitzel? Yum!
