Chicken Schnitzel - Gluten-Free - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 chicken breasts (can buy prepared flattened 'shnitzelled' chicken breast pieces if you choose)
    1/2 cup fine rice flour or 1/2 cup other gluten-free flour
    2 eggs, lightly beaten
    1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs (I use Orgran brand rice crumbs)
    1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
    1 teaspoon smokey paprika or 1 teaspoon paprika
    4 teaspoons dried parsley
    cooking oil, for pan frying
Preparation
    Slice chicken breasts in halves, lengthways, to make 2 thin chicken breast pieces from each.
    Roll with a rolling pin or use a mallet to gentley flatten to quite thin chicken schnitzels.Cut schnitzels to desired size or strips, or leave large if desired.
    Coat chicken in rice flour or other gluten free flour and set aside.
    In a bowl, lightly whisk eggs or prepare egg replacers.
    In another bowl mix all remaining ingredients thoroughly.
    Dip chicken schnitzels into the egg. Coat thoroughly and allow any excess to drain. Next dip into crumb mix and set aside. I like to pat the crumbs on after coating. Continue until all chicken is coated in the crumb mixture.
    Heat some cooking oil in a pan and cook chicken approx 5 minutes each side. The chicken should be golden and cooked thru.
    Serve with your choices of sauce or lemon juice if desired.
