Who says traditional dishes can’t be both delicious and good for you?
If you’ve grown up savoring chicken schnitzel but are concerned about the excessive oil content at this stage of life, then worry no more! Our baked chicken schnitzel recipe offers a healthy yet flavorful alternative.
Picture this: tender, succulent chicken on the inside, paired with a perfectly crunchy, golden exterior. The best part? We use just a tiny amount of oil since there’s no deep-frying involved. Instead, we take the healthier route and bake it in the oven, making it a family-friendly choice.
To ensure a burst of flavors, we marinate the chicken before cooking, allowing the spices to infuse the meat, creating a truly delectable experience. And for that delightful crunch with every bite, we’ve added sesame seeds to the coating.

Seasoned Batter:

- 1 tsp. natural onion powder
- 1 tsp. date syrup

Instructions
