01 Step

Gather all ingredients.
02 Step
Recipe View
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over foil. Place the baking sheet in the oven as it preheats. (Time: 5-10 minutes)
03 Step

Meanwhile, place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper. (Time: 10-15 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View
Mix flour and paprika together in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, salt, and pepper together in a second shallow bowl. Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together in a third shallow bowl. (Time: 5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View
Dredge one piece of chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place the breaded chicken, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken. (Time: 15-20 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View
Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange chicken in a single layer on the hot sheet. Drizzle more olive oil over each piece. (Time: 5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View
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). (Time: 10-12 minutes)
For an extra crispy schnitzel, try using panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
Make sure the baking sheet is hot before placing the breaded chicken on it. This helps to create a crispy bottom.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice brightens the dish!
