    Recipe Introduction


    Original recipe by Adeena Sussman modified to GFCF by BL Olson

    List of Ingredients




    1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for seasoning
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper, plus more for seasoning
    1 cup gf bread crumbs, lightly toasted
    2 tablespoons sesame seeds
    1/2 teaspoon paprika
    1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
    1/4 teaspoon chili powder or cayenne
    1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
    2 eggs, beaten
    1/2 cup sweet rice flour
    1 1/2 pounds skinless boneless chicken or turkey breast(about 6 breasts), split and trimmed
    1/2 cup oil for frying

    Recipe



    Combine the salt, black pepper, bread crumbs, sesame seeds, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder/cayenne and parsley in a Ziploc bag, and shake to combine. Transfer to a shallow pie plate or other similar dish. Reserve.

    Whisk eggs. Place in shallow container. Reserve.

    Place sweet rice (or other gf flour) in a third shallow dish. Reserve.

    Trim tenders from chicken and reserve. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.

    Place breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and pound
    lightly with a mallet to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.

    Pat dry with a paper towel.

    Dredge cutlets and tenders in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture.

    Heat oil over medium-high heat in a heavy skillet until hot but not smoking.

    Working in batches, lay 2 cutlets in pan and fry until underside is golden brown and crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and fry an additional 2-3 minutes.

    Drain on paper towels, season with salt and pepper to taste and serve hot.

    Serves 3 to 4 (depending on your appetite.

    Author's Notes: The spices here are only a recommendation--it's fun to adjust the herbs to your liking. The smaller tenders make a great snack for kids, and any leftover schnitzel is superb as a day-after sandwich, stuffed into a gf pita with some salad and a drizzle of tahini.
