Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Spread frozen fries on a baking sheet, season with salt and pepper, then bake according to package directions.
Step 2
Place chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Set up three shallow bowls: flour in first, beaten egg in second, panko mixed with salt and pepper in third.
Step 4
Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, then press into panko until fully coated on both sides.
Step 5
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds. Slide in chicken and sear 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and edges curl.
Step 6
Plate schnitzel alongside fries, season with salt and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
