Step 1
Pound chicken breasts between plastic wrap until 1/4-inch thick. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten eggs, panko breadcrumbs. Coat each chicken breast in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs, pressing gently.
Step 3
Heat 0.25 inch oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes. Sear breaded chicken 3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 4
While chicken cooks, bake frozen fries at 425°F for 12 minutes or according to package instructions until crispy.
Step 5
Toss sliced cucumber and tomato with a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir yogurt sauce and transfer to a small bowl.
Step 6
Plate schnitzel, fries, and fresh salad on the side. Serve yogurt sauce for dipping.
