chicken thigh schnitzel with mustard cream sauce
I love this crispy chicken. The Panko makes it so crispy that the sauce doesn't make it soggy. It's so good. Thighs are so juicy and way better than a dry chicken breast.

How To Make chicken thigh schnitzel with mustard cream sauce
-
Step 1Pound the chicken out with plastic wrap until they are uniform in size. Season with salt and pepper.
-
Step 2Set up 3 dredging stations. Place the corn starch in one dish. Season it with salt. Place the eggs in another dish and mix them well.
-
Step 3Place the Panko in a large baggie and run a rolling pin over the outside to crush them up smaller so they stick to the chicken well and make it super crunchy.
-
Step 4Dredge the chicken in the corn starch and shake off the excess. Dredge in the eggs, then into the panko. Set them aside on a baking sheet until all are done. Let them sit on the counter while you make the sauce.
-
Step 5Place the butter in a saucepan. Once it's melted, add the flour and whisk. Cook 2 minutes.
-
Step 6Add the mustard and mix well. Then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer, and simmer 5 minutes.
-
Step 7Add the heavy cream and bring to a boil again. Reduce to a simmer and stir in the capers and lemon. Add the paprika. Taste and adjust for salt. Set aside and keep warm.
-
Step 8Add about an inch of oil to a pan and get it hot. Reduce the heat and add the chicken cutlets, and cook until browned well on both sides, about 7 minutes, turning often.
-
Step 9Serve the cutlets with the sauce over.
