Serving Size: 3-4 people

For the Chicken

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup flour (seasoned with 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder)

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs mixed with 1 tbsp white sesame seeds and 1 tbsp black sesame seeds

  • Neutral oil, for frying

For the Green Goddess Dressing

  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt

  • 1 cup fresh parsley

  • ¼ cup fresh dill

  • ¼ cup fresh basil

  • 1 small handful mint leaves

  • Juice of 1 lemon

  • 1 tbsp agave syrup (or honey)

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • Fresh black pepper, to taste

For the Salad

  • 1/2 head iceberg lettuce, chopped

  • 1/4 cup shaved parmesan

  • Squeeze of lemon

  • Freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions 

  1. Make the dressing first
    In a blender or food processor, combine all ingredients. Blend until smooth, adding a splash of water to loosen until pourable. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. Prep the chicken
    Season the pounded chicken breasts well with salt and pepper.

  3. Set up dredging station
    Place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko with in another.

  4. Bread the chicken
    Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into egg, and press firmly into the panko mixture until fully coated.

  5. Cook the schnitzel
    Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel or rack and season lightly with salt. Squeeze fresh lemon over the top if desired.

  6. Make the salad
    In a bowl, toss the shredded iceberg with the green goddess dressing (as much as desired)

  7. Assemble
    Place the hot schnitzel on a plate, pile the dressed iceberg salad directly on top, then drizzle with extra green goddess and finish with more shaved parmesan and cracked pepper.

There’s something deeply satisfying about a perfectly crisp chicken schnitzel. Golden, crunchy, and juicy in the center, it’s the kind of dish that is so simple you don't know why you don't eat it more. BUT...this version takes it a step further, layering it with a fresh salad tossed in a creamy, herby green goddess dressing. And it wouldn't be Naughty Fork without a shower of Parmesan on top. It's an easy weeknight dinner that needs to be added to your rotation.
