Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless, chicken breasts
1/3-cup all-purpose flour
1/4-teaspoon salt
1/4-teaspoon black pepper
3 large eggs
1-cup fine breadcrumbs
1/4-cup olive oil or canola oil
Directions:
Halve chicken breasts by cutting horizontally through the piece to make slices each approximately 1/3- 1/4-inch thick. If you prefer thinner schnitzel, each halve may be pounded.
In shallow pie dish, mix flour, salt and pepper.
In second shallow dish, beat eggs lightly.
In third shallow dish, place breadcrumbs.
