Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10-15 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients:
- 500 g chicken breast (about 1 large chicken breast)
- 2 large eggs
- 100 g breadcrumbs
- 100 g flour
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 packet of Knorr vegetable seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)
- Oil for frying (suggestion: sunflower oil or olive oil)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the ingredients: Start by washing the chicken breast well under cold water. Then, dry it with a paper towel to remove excess water. Cut it into thin slices, about 1 cm thick. These will cook evenly and become delicious.

2. Prepare the breading station: Set up three deep plates on your work surface. In the first, place the flour. In the second, beat the two eggs with a fork, adding salt, pepper, and the Knorr vegetable seasoning for extra taste. In the third plate, place the breadcrumbs.

3. Bread the schnitzels: Take each slice of chicken breast and first coat it in flour, ensuring it is evenly covered. Shake off the excess flour, then dip it in the egg mixture, making sure it is well coated. Finally, roll the slice in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.

4. Fry the schnitzels: In a deep skillet, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan with an even layer. Heat the oil over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully add the schnitzels, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Fry them for 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden and crispy.

5. Serving: Once the schnitzels are ready, remove them to a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Serve them hot, alongside a fresh salad or with mashed potatoes. You can add a slice of lemon for extra freshness.

Practical tips:
- Choose quality ingredients: Use fresh chicken breast and farm eggs for better taste.
- Vary the breadcrumbs: You can try panko breadcrumbs for an even crunchier texture or add spices like garlic powder, sweet paprika, or herbs to the breadcrumbs.
- Experiment with sides: These schnitzels are delicious with various sauces, such as tartar sauce or garlic mayonnaise.

These chicken breast schnitzels are an excellent choice for a quick and satisfying meal. With simple techniques and accessible ingredients, you can achieve a result worthy of a restaurant. Enjoy every bite!
