CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

I tried this recipe from the Every Food magazine and DH and I just loved it. The flavor, with garlic, parmesan, and a wine sauce, take it beyond the average schnitzel recipe. It's also fairly quick and easy enough for a week night meal.

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
coarse salt
ground pepper
1 cup fresh breadcrumb (made from 3 slices white bread)
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
4 (6 ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to an even 1/4 inch thickness
4 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese.
  • Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick.
  • For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
  • Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
  • Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
  • Heat butter until melted and add wine.
  • Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Simmer 2 minutes.
  • Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve.
  • Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL - GLUTEN-FREE



Chicken Schnitzel - Gluten-Free image

A quick and easy schnitzel to make that's gluten-free. I use gluten-free rice crumbs (Orgran brand). Alternately you can make you own gluten-free crumbs by laying slices of GF bread on an oven tray and baking in a slow oven until golden. Then process to a fine crumb using a food processor or placing the bread in a large zip-lock bag and use your rolling-pin. You can omit the cheese if you cant have dairy or use egg replacers if you cant eat eggs. Add some extra pepper or spices of your choice if you like hot or spicey flavours. If leaving out the cheese- you might like to add salt, pepper and other seasonings of your choice- may taste a little bland otherwise

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

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

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy coating, ensure the chicken is dry before dipping it into the egg wash and breadcrumb mixture.
  • For a flavorful schnitzel, use a combination of herbs and spices in the breadcrumb mixture. Suggested seasonings include paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and thyme.
  • If you don't have almond flour, you can make your own by grinding almonds in a food processor until it resembles fine flour.
  • To prevent the schnitzel from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or grease the pan with cooking oil.
  • Cook the schnitzel over medium heat to ensure it cooks evenly without burning.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
