Ingredients

Thinly sliced chicken breast 1 Pounds

Flour 1/2 Cup

Eggs 2 Pcs.

Breadcrumbs 1 Cup

Paprika 1 Tbsp

Sesame seeds 1 Tbsp

Dead sea Salt to taste

Oil for frying

Lemon 1 Pcs.

Tomatoes 2 Pcs.

Cucumbers 1 Pcs.

Red onion 1 Pcs.

Israeli Olive oil

Instructions

Step 1

Dice tomatoes, cucumbers and red onion. Add salt, lemon juice from half lemon and 1.5 tbsp olive oil. Stir all together and set aside.

Step 2

In your first bowl, put the flour. In your second bowl, beat the eggs together with 2 tsp of water until well mixed. In your third bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs, paprika, ¼ tsp salt and sesame seeds until well blended. Place an empty plate nearby where you will put your coated schnitzels.

Step 3

Pour oil into a skillet or sauté pan until it’s deep enough for frying about ½ inch (1.2 cm) Heat the oil slowly over medium. While oil is heating, dip each breast one by one into your bowl of flour to coat them.

Step 4

Next, dip the floured breast in the egg mixture until well coated.

Step 5

Finally, place the egg-covered breast into the bowl of breadcrumb mixture. Use a dry hand to coat the breast evenly with breadcrumbs. Repeat process for remaining breasts.

Step 6

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 2-3 minutes per side to cook the schnitzels.

Step 7

After frying, set the schnitzels on a paper towel-lined plate or baking sheet to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Serve hot garnished with lemon wedges and Israeli salad.
