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).

• In a wide shallow bowl, beat eggs with garlic, parsley, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan. Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on with your fingers.
