Golden Chicken Schnitzel
with Roasted Potatoes, Green Beans & a Creamy Honey Dijon Dipper
- Wheat
- Eggs
Crispy chicken is pretty much perfect in any form, but this isn’t your run-of-the-mill schnitzel. To amp up flavor, we’ve added lemon zest and garlic powder to our breadcrumb mixture, then paired the crispy cutlets with our new favorite condiment: a creamy honey Dijon dipping sauce. Speaking of, we’re serving up sides of roasted potatoes and green beans for extra dipping, but if you broke out the spoon to scrape up leftover sauce, we wouldn’t judge.

Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position (top and middle positions for 4 servings) and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry all produce. • Cut potatoes into ½-inch-thick wedges. Toss on one side of a baking sheet with a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper, and Fry Seasoning. (For 4, spread potatoes out across entire sheet.) • Roast on top rack for 10 minutes (you’ll add the green beans then).
• Meanwhile, zest and quarter lemon. • In a shallow dish, combine panko, lemon zest, and garlic powder. Season with salt (we used 1 tsp) and pepper; set aside. (Use 2 tsp salt for 4 servings.) • Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; place between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap. Pound with a mallet or rolling pin until chicken is about ½ inch thick. Season all over with salt and pepper. TIP: If your cutlets are already ½ inch thick, skip the pounding.
• Once potatoes have roasted 10 minutes, remove sheet from oven. Carefully toss green beans on empty side with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper. (For 4 servings, leave potatoes roasting and toss green beans on a second sheet; roast on middle rack.) • Return to top rack until veggies are browned and tender, 12-15 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, brush chicken all over with half the sour cream (you’ll use the rest in the next step). Working one piece at a time, press chicken into panko mixture to coat on both sides. • Heat 1⁄3-inch layer of oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium high heat. Once oil is shimmering and hot enough that a pinch of panko sizzles when added to the pan, add chicken and cook until crust is golden brown and chicken is cooked through, 3-5 minutes per side. • Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• While chicken cooks, in a small bowl, combine honey Dijon dressing with remaining sour cream.
• Divide chicken, green beans, and potatoes between plates. Serve with sauce for dipping or dolloping on chicken and lemon wedges on the side.

- Ease of prep: Some found frying the chicken messy or tricky, but others were surprised how easy it was to achieve a golden crust.
- Suggestions: Consider air frying the chicken for a healthier, less messy option; add extra lemon zest for more zing.
- Leftovers: Chicken can dry out when reheated; best enjoyed fresh.
- Sides: Some felt the roasted broccoli and potatoes were bland; try steaming broccoli or mashing potatoes for variety.
Reviews from our home cooks
The chicken turned out golden and crispy. The creamy honey dijon sauce was perfect with the chicken. Daughter upgraded the Cobb salad she made to take to work the next day by adding one golden chicken schnitzel that was left over sliced. She didn't need to make a vinaigrette dressing because she had enough creamy honey Dijon sauce for the chicken to have with her salad.
The crust on the schnitzel was really crispy and delicious. I think I under seasoned it slightly (an easy adjustment for next time). The roasted broccoli was great (especially with a squeeze of lemon), and my husband devoured the honey mustard sauce. The potatoes were a little ho-hum for us. They were fine -- not great, not bad, just kinda there.
I roasted the potatoes and broccoli on 350° and the chicken I baked it and it came out beautifully. Just suggestions for customers that do not fry foods. I used vegan sour cream which is a good substitute if you are lactose intolerant, works the same. The chicken schnitzel came out crispy and from the oven also.
This recipe was delicious. For some reason the potatoes did not cook as well this time - they needed a lot more cooking time. But the schnitzel was great! I just used lemon on my schnitzel, but my husband thought the honey Dijon was very tasty. The green beans weren't my favorite - they didn't cook well in the oven. Enjoyed the brussels sprouts from another recipe much more.
Love roasted broccoli and good quantity. Nice mustard sauce to complement the chicken schnitzel. Potato seasoning was a bit bland and interfered with browning some.
This recipe was great. The breading on the chicken was delicious and the sauce was a great addition. You can't go wrong with roasted potato wedges and broccoli either!
The Chicken Schnitzel was "spot on" and we have saved the recipe for future use! Way to go!! You lost a STAR because the broccoli was over done and too chrispy.
So delicious!! The breading on the chicken was fantastic and the honey dijon was amazing on it. The potatoes and broccoli were a perfect accompaniment.
I was surprised how easy it was to prepare and cook the schnitzel. I would have preferred the broccoli steamed. I liked the honey Dijon sauce to top the schnitzel with.
The Schnitzel came out crispy and juicy! The roasted potatoes took much longer than 20 minutes to cook. You should check to see if the potatoes are close to tender before dropping the chicken to fry. There were only crumbs left of this dish.
