Instructions

Slice each chicken breast horizontally into two thinner cutlets.
Place the cutlets between sheets of parchment or plastic wrap.
Pound the cutlets to a thickness of 1/4 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Season both sides with kosher salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Set up a breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, whisk eggs and milk or water in another, and fill a third with panko breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
Heat neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Fry the breaded cutlets in the hot oil until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from skillet and drain on paper towels.
Garnish with flaky sea salt, serve with lemon wedges, and sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

For a healthier option, bake the schnitzel instead of frying.
Ensure the oil is hot enough before adding the cutlets to achieve a crispy texture.
Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
