Step 1
Start the oven to 425°F. Spread fries on a sheet pan, toss with oil and salt, bake for 18 minutes until golden.
Step 2
Place chicken between plastic wrap. Pound until 1/4-inch thick using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: flour mixed with salt and pepper, beaten egg, and panko. Coat each chicken breast through all three.
Step 4
Heat 3 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry chicken 3 minutes per side until deep golden.
Step 5
Remove chicken to a plate. Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sauté 3 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Step 6
Pour 1/4 cup water into the pan, scrape up browned bits, stir in sour cream and a pinch of salt. Return chicken, simmer 1 minute.
Step 7
Serve schnitzel with mushroom gravy and crispy fries alongside.
