Chicken Schnitzel Gluten Free Recipes

GLUTEN FREE CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Lay down a 2-foot long strip of plastic wrap on your kitchen countertop. Place chicken breasts on the plastic, leaving a 2-inch space between each breast. Cover the breasts with another strip of plastic, so the meat is sandwiched between two layers of plastic. Use a mallet to pound the breasts until they are a little less than ¼ inch thick. Season breasts with salt and pepper.
• Set up two wide, shallow bowls and a large plate on your countertop. In your first bowl, beat the eggs. In your second bowl, stir together the almond meal, za'atar spice blend, paprika, sesame seeds, and 1 tsp salt till well blended. Leave an empty plate nearby where you will place your coated schnitzels.
• Pour oil into a skillet until it's deep enough for frying (about ½ inch). Heat the oil slowly over medium. While oil is heating, dip each breast one by one into your breading bowls-first coat with egg, then with almond meal mixture. Pat the almond meal coating onto all visible sides of the breasts, making sure there's an even layer of coating over all the visible surfaces.
• The ideal temperature to fry schnitzel is around 375 degrees F. When the oil is hot (but not smoking or splattering), fry the coated breasts in single-layer batches until they are golden brown on both sides. If your oil is at the right temperature, it should take about 3-4 minutes per side. Don't fry more than two breasts at a time in a regular sized skillet, or the oil temperature will drop and the schnitzels will become greasy.
• Frying Note: The gluten free schnitzel coating will shed a bit during the frying process, which dirties the oil. Frying up to four breasts in the oil (two batches of two breasts each, one immediately after the other) will work fine. If you are planning on frying more than four breasts, dispose of the oil, clean the skillet, and reheat a batch of fresh oil before proceeding. Or, you can let the oil cool and strain it clean between batches. If you don't, you'll wind up with some dirty looking schnitzels!
• After frying, set the schnitzels on a paper towel and pat them dry to soak off excess oil. Sprinkle the schnitzels with salt to taste. Serve hot garnished with lemon wedges and your favorite condiment.

BAKED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over foil. Place baking sheet in preheated oven.
• Flatten chicken breasts so they are all about 1/4-inch thick. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Mix flour and paprika together on a large plate. Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl. Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together on a separate large plate. Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then egg, and then bread crumbs mixture and set aside in 1 layer on a clean plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Remove baking sheet from oven and arrange chicken in 1 layer on the sheet. Drizzle more olive oil over each piece of coated chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken and continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the breading is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
• In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese.
• Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick.
• For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
• Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
• Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
• Heat butter until melted and add wine.
• Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer 2 minutes.
• Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve.
• Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

SCHNITZEL (PALEO, GLUTEN-FREE)

Steps:

• Pound each boneless chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
• Place the almond flour, the whisked eggs and the gluten-free bread crumbs in 3 separate flat dishes.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Dredge each chicken breast in almond flour, tapping off any excess flour, then dip each one in the bowl with the eggs, and then coat well with breadcrumbs.
• Saute first two chicken breasts for about 3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove the Schnitzels from the skillet and cover with a foil to keep warm while you prepare the rest of the Schnitzels.
