schnitzel recipe

Crispy chicken schnitzels are served with a sweet and crunchy fennel and apple salad in this easy dinner for four.

Chicken schnitzel with fennel, pistachio and apple salad

chicken breasts

medium free-range eggs, beaten

tbsp dijon mustard,

plain flour

breadcrumbs

tsp caraway seeds,

Olive oil

lemon

Sauerkraut to serve (we like Dawtona from Tesco)

For the salad

green eating apple

fennel bulb, thinly sliced (fronds reserved)

pistachio kernels, toasted and roughly chopped

fresh flatleaf parsley, roughly chopped

olive oil

Finely grated zest and juice

Put a chicken breast between 2 sheets of compostable baking paper, then use a rolling pin to beat the chicken until it’s about 1.5cm thick all over. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

Put the eggs in a shallow bowl and mix with the mustard. Put the flour and breadcrumbs in 2 separate shallow bowls or on 2 plates. Season the flour with salt and black pepper.

Dip the chicken breasts into the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the beaten egg, then finally coat well with the breadcrumbs. Sprinkle the caraway seeds over both sides, pressing to coat. Set the crumbed chicken breasts aside until ready to cook (see Make Ahead).

For the salad, finely slice the apple, then combine with all the remaining salad ingredients in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper and toss again.

To cook the schnitzels, put a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, then pour in 1cm oil. When the oil is hot, fry 2 schnitzels for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Squeeze lemon juice over, then set aside, loosely covered with foil. Repeat with the rest of the chicken schnitzels, using a little more oil if you need it.

Serve the chicken schnitzels with the salad, with dijon mustard and sauerkraut on the side.

Pork Schnitzel Recipe

pork

flour

salt & pepper (to taste)

egg (beaten)

tbsp milk

bread crumbs

tsp smoked paprika

tbsp extra virgin olive oil

chicken broth

Using a small paring knife, cut a couple tiny slits around the edges of the cutlets to prevent them from curling when cooked.

Prep three bowls/plates, whichever works for you- the first with a mixture of flour tossed with salt &amp; pepper. The second with the egg &amp; milk beaten together. And finally the third, with the breading &amp; paprika mixed together.

In a large skillet over medium high heat, let the oil heat up.

While the oil&#039;s heating, dip the prepared cutlets in the flour. Shake off excess, and then dip in the egg mixture, followed by the breading to coat. You&#039;re going to have to work in batches.

Working in batches, saute the cutlets in hot oil for 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the cooked cutlets to a waiting plate and tent with foil. Cook the rest of the cutlets.

When the cutlets are cooked through you can serve them as is, or with a gravy.

A true Wiener Schnitzel is a breaded cutlet of veal served with a lemon wedge to add some extra zing and if you're luck a side of cranberry sauce. It's dipped in flour, egg, and bread crumbs, then fried in butter or fat.

Traditional Wiener Schnitzel (Viennese Veal Cutlet)

organic veal cutlets ((alternatively, use chicken

sea salt & pepper

cream ((optional))

eggs

flour ((100 g))

breadcrumbs ((150 g))

lard, butter

Between two pieces of plastic wrap, pound the meat out into a very flat cutlet, a little less than a centimeter thick. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

Whisk together cream and eggs in a bowl with a fork.

Set up a breading station. Put the flour on a large plate. Do the same for the egg mixture, and the breadcrumbs.

Heat the oil or fat in the frying pan and turn the heat to medium-high. When the fat is hot, coat each schnitzel on both side with flour, shaking off any excess. Then dredge it through the egg, and then the breadcrumbs, ensuring that no part of the schnitzel remains dry.

Immediately put the breaded cutlet into the hot fat; shaking the skillet a little to make sure the schnitzel does not stick to the bottom.

Depending on the thickness or type of meat, fry for between 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown.

Transfer to a plate and garnish with slices of lemon before serving. Terrific served with homemade cranberry sauce. Enjoy!

A schnitzel is a boneless meat cutlet pounded extra thin with a meat mallet. It is then breaded and pan-fried until golden and crispy. This recipe works well for veal (aka Viennese or Wiener schnitzel), pork or chicken.

How to Make Chicken Schnitzel

vegetable oil

sage leaves

parmesan,

prosciutto

breadcrumbs ((or panko crumbs))

mild paprika

oregano ((notes))

sea salt flakes

plain (all purp) flour

lemon,

On a large chopping board, slice each of the chicken breasts through the middle (thickness wise) so you have 2 thinner breast pieces (chicken cutlets) from each one.

Place a piece of plastic wrap over the top of all 4 cutlets and gently bash the thicker parts with a meat tenderiser until they are the same thickness all over - about 1cm thickness is good.

Remove the plastic wrap and season the chicken well on both sides with salt and pepper. Lay 3 sage leaves on top of each one, sprinkle the parmesan over and then a slice of prosciutto over the top of that.

Take 3 high sided dishes, large enough to fit the chicken breast in flat and add the flour to one of them. Add the egg to the second and beat well.

In the third dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, paprika, oregano and sea salt flakes

With two hands so you can hold the prosciutto on, dip one piece of chicken into the flour. Coat both sides, then gently shake off the excess. Repeat this process with the egg. Finally, coat it in the breadcrumb mix, making sure to press them on firmly. Lay the chicken on a clean plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Pour the oil into a large, heavy based pan, no more than 1cm deep, over medium high heat. Line a baking sheet with plenty kitchen paper towel but scrunch the towel up.

Test the oil by dipping the end of a wooden spoon into it - if it starts to sizzle, the oil is hot enough. Gently place 2 schnitzels into the oil and fry for 10-14 minutes (notes), turning halfway through.

Transfer to the paper towel and test for doneness (a meat thermometer should read 74C / 165F). Allow to drain while you cook the other two - they&#39;ll stay piping hot, don&#39;t worry.

Let the second batch drain on the paper towel while dishing up te sides, then serve your schnitzels while still hot and crunchy. Serve with lemon wedges so you can squeeze over a little lemon juice.

Bread crumb from scratch is the way to go, and great way to use up stale bread too. This chicken is so good with either rice or pasta, delicious!
