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!

    The lemon zest in the breadcrumbs is a game-changer! It adds such a nice brightness.

    Next time I'll try marinating the chicken beforehand for even more flavor.

    I accidentally overcooked it a bit, so keep a close eye on the internal temperature.
