Prepare the Chicken: Let’s begin preparing Cheese Battered Chicken Schnitzel Kure v Sýrovem Těstíčku by preparing the meat. 1.1. Ensure the chicken breasts are properly rinsed under cold water to remove surface bacteria and unwanted parts. 1.2. Perform a butterfly cut and then cut each chicken breast in half to reach four portions. 1.3. Pound over plastic wrap to approximately ¼” thickness using a meat mallet. 1.4. Salt and pepper from both sides. 2. Breading Station: 2.1. Place ½ cup of all-purpose flour on the first plate. 2.2. Place into the medium mixing bowl: 3 eggs ¼ cup of milk 1 TSP of baking powder ¼ TSP of salt 2 cups of finely shredded cheese of your choice Then, thoroughly until with a spatula until fully combined.. 2.3. Place 1 cup of breadcrumbs the second plate. 3. Bread the Chicken: 3.1. First, bread the chicken meat in the flour on both sides. 3.2. Then, add the remaining flour to the eggs and milk mixture, stirring thoroughly until fully combined to create a batter. Important: After this point, work one by one. 3.3. Place a piece of chicken into the batter and use a spatula to cover the top with batter. Notes: If your batter is too thick (it should be at least slightly runny), consider diluting it with a little milk. You should have enough batter for all the chicken, but it’s important to budget it. If you prefer your chicken to have a thicker batter coating, you can increase the amount of cheese, milk, and eggs and coat the chicken more to your liking.
