Steps:
- Pour 1 1/2 inches of oil into a large heavy pot or high-sided skillet. Clip on a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
- Set up a dredging station: Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in each of 3 separate bowls. Season the breadcrumbs with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper.
- Place a piece of chicken between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or other blunt object to pound the chicken until it is as thin as you can make it without it tearing. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg wash and finally in the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain; season both sides with salt and pepper. Hold in a warm oven if not serving immediately. Serve with lemon wedges.
CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
I tried this recipe from the Every Food magazine and DH and I just loved it. The flavor, with garlic, parmesan, and a wine sauce, take it beyond the average schnitzel recipe. It's also fairly quick and easy enough for a week night meal.

BAKED CHICKEN SCHNITZEL
Growing up, chicken schnitzel was a classic. I decided to make this dish oven-friendly using less oil, and an easier cleanup. This dish tastes great with potato salad, or mashed potatoes and a nice crisp salad. Tastes great the next day cold too! It's a family-favorite! Enjoy with fresh squeezed lemon juice.

Steps:
- First, make the tomato sauce. Tip the tomatoes into a medium saucepan and add 1 /2 a can of water. Stir in the tomato purée, season and simmer for 15 mins. Keep warm while you make the chicken.
- Put the eggs in a shallow dish. Lightly season the flour and tip it into another shallow dish. Mix the Parmesan, lemon zest and breadcrumbs together and tip onto a plate.
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of cling film on a chopping board. Ask your child to help bash them gently with a rolling pin until they are about 2cm thick. Cut each flattened chicken breast into five or six strips.
- Cook the spaghetti in a pan of boiling salted water for 10-12 mins or following pack instructions. Get your child to help you coat the chicken strips in the flour and shake off any excess. Dip them in the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off, then finally coat them well in the breadcrumbs and put on a plate. Once all the chicken strips are coated, heat the oil in a large frying pan until hot.
- Add the chicken strips to the pan in batches and fry for 2-3 mins each side until cooked through - you may need to wipe out the pan in between batches. Lift out and drain on kitchen paper.
- Drain the spaghetti, then mix with the tomato sauce. Serve alongside the chicken strips and some rocket leaves or a crisp green salad.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH WARM POTATO SALAD
Wolfgang Puck says about his weinerschnitzel: "This is a recipe from my childhood, an Austrian classic. It's one of the most popular dishes at Spago where we serve it with mache, frisée, balsamic vinegar and pumpkinseed oil. But for me, it's perfect with just a fingerling potato salad." He modified his weinerschnitzel to chicken for the People Magazine article 'Dinner for 4 under $10", which was published February 22, 2010. Cook/prep time does not include rest time for potatoes. This would pair nicely with an Austrian riesling. Taken from People magazine and posted for ZWT.
