Slice chicken breasts into finger-sized strips.

Season flour with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour until coated.

Beat eggs in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.

Dip each floured chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

Coat each chicken strip in breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry chicken strips in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer fried schnitzel fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve with lemon wedges and a side of shredded cabbage and carrots.
