Step 1
Preheat oven to 425°F. Toss potato wedges with 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper; spread on a sheet pan.
Step 2
Slide potatoes into the oven. They'll bake while you cook the chicken.
Step 3
Pound each chicken breast until 0.5 inch thick, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
Step 4
Beat the egg in a shallow bowl. Mix panko with 0.5 tsp salt in another bowl.
Step 5
Dip each chicken piece in egg, then dredge in panko, pressing to coat both sides evenly.
Step 6
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 7
Sear chicken 3–4 minutes per side without moving until golden brown and cooked through.
Step 8
Transfer chicken to a plate. Check potatoes for tenderness and golden edges, then plate.
Step 9
Squeeze fresh lemon over the schnitzel and fries. Serve immediately.
