The best Chicken Schnitzel

in #food7 years ago

I don't think I know of anyone who DOESN'T like chicken schnitzel. After getting home from work on a Friday, its usually my go-to dish as its quick, easy and my Wife's favourite.

To me, schnitzel is not about being really thick, its about being the right thickness of around 5-7mm, and juicy! The super easy recipe is below...

INGREDIENTS:

1 chicken breast
flour
1 egg
Bread crumbs
Dried parsley
lemon rind from 1 lemon
Ground paprika
Salt
Pepper

METHOD:

  1. Cut the chicken breast into 5mm slices along its length and season.
  2. In 3 bowls, put flour in one, the raw egg into the second (beaten), and thirdly bread crumbs with the lemon rind, paprika, salt, pepper, and dried parsley.

  1. Shallow fry in olive oil on a medium heat, 2 minutes the first side, and roughly 1-2 the second side and set aside on a paper towel to soak up the excess oils. Season and serve with fresh lemon :-)

I dont know why but i always thought schnitzel was something completely different, like some kinda of German chicken stew.

But thanks to the pics i have this all the time, well maybe not with the exact spice blend but i smash a whole chicken breast flat, then cover it in flour, then egg and then the breadcrumbs, shallow fry it for a few mins each side, and its delicious.

I will have to try adding the Dried parsley, lemon rind from 1 lemon and Ground paprika as your recipe because it does look very tasty.

Interesting... Iv never known it anything else. Definately give it a go, the paprika and lemon give it a defined taste. Thanks for checking out my post 👍🏼
