Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thick cutlets.
  2. Step 2: In a shallow bowl, whisk 1/2 cup all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. In a second bowl, beat 2 large eggs. In a third bowl, combine 1 cup plain breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
  3. Step 3: Dip each chicken cutlet first into the seasoned flour, shaking off excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Step 4: Arrange the breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil evenly over them. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and cooked through, flipping halfway.
  5. Step 5: Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup applesauce with 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl to make the dipping sauce.
  6. Step 6: Serve the warm chicken schnitzels with the apple dipping sauce on the side for dipping.
