Step 1
Place chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound until 1/4-inch thin using a mallet or rolling pin.
Step 2
Set up three shallow bowls: flour, beaten egg, and panko mixed with 0.5 tsp salt and 0.25 tsp pepper.
Step 3
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg, then press into panko until fully covered.
Step 4
Heat 0.25 cup oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Fry chicken 3 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
Step 5
Meanwhile, bake fries in a 400°F oven or air fryer at 400°F for 12 minutes until crispy, stirring halfway.
Step 6
Plate schnitzel and fries. Serve immediately with lemon wedges squeezed over top.
