Can you cook gluten free schnitzel in the oven?
Cooking in the oven is an option too. An oven baked schnitzel is commonly lower in fat than traditional fried schnitzel, but both taste just as good!
Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). Place coated pork/chicken on lightly greased baking tray and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15 minutes or until crispy and golden.

Found some center cut pork chops on sale at the grocery store the other day bought two packs, brought them home and made this recipe. Served alongside roasted potatoes and they were wonderful! Lemon is a definite must. Only change I made was at the same amount of spices to both the flour and the panko crumbs.
Thanks for sharing. This schnitzel works every time!
Delicious!!
My family loved it! It also works with veal instead of pork!
