Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Schnitzel
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts Pounded to about 1/2 inch thick
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups breadcrumbs Panko recommended for extra crunch
  • as needed cup vegetable oil For frying
For the Dressing
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4-6 fillets anchovy, finely chopped Blends in beautifully
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • to taste salt and pepper For seasoning

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly pound the chicken breasts until they are about 1/2 inch thick and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up breading stations: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in a third.
Breading and Frying
  1. Dip each chicken breast into the flour, then the egg, and coat with breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs to stick.
  2. Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
  3. Transfer the fried schnitzels to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Making the Dressing
  1. In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, minced garlic, chopped anchovies, lemon juice, salt, and pepper for the dressing.

Notes

Let the oil heat properly to avoid greasy schnitzel. Adjust garlic and anchovy levels in the dressing to taste.
