Baked Chicken Schnitzel

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle olive oil over foil.

Place baking sheet in preheated oven.

Flatten chicken breasts so they are all about 1/4-inch thick.

Season chicken with salt and pepper.

Mix flour and paprika together on a large plate.

Beat eggs with salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.

Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together on a separate large plate.

Dredge each chicken piece in flour mixture, then egg, and then bread crumbs mixture and set aside in 1 layer on a clean plate.

Repeat with remaining chicken.

Remove baking sheet from oven and arrange chicken in 1 layer on the sheet.

Drizzle more olive oil over each piece of coated chicken.

Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes.

Flip chicken and continue baking until no longer pink in the center and the breading is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes more.

An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
