Best 4 Chicken Schnitzel With Brown Butter Capers Recipes

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH BROWN BUTTER & CAPERS

Steps:

• Open out the thighs and place them between two squares of baking parchment. Bash the thighs with a rolling pin to flatten them, but not so violently that the chicken flesh starts to break up.
• Set out three shallow bowls. Fill one with the flour, the next with the beaten egg and the last one with the breadcrumbs. Season the thighs, then dip each one in the flour, then the egg, then the breadcrumbs. Set the coated thighs on a baking sheet.
• Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan. Cook the thighs over a medium heat for 4 mins each side. The coating should be golden and the chicken cooked through. Season, then transfer to a roasting tin lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven.
• Wipe out the pan and add the butter. Cook until foaming and nutty (it will take about 3 mins for the butter to become brown), then add the capers and the rosemary and cook for 1 min more. Serve the schnitzels with the butter spooned over the top and the lemon wedges on the side.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH CAPERS AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Put an ovenproof platter in oven to warm.
• Gently pound each cutlet between 2 sheets of plastic wrap to 1/8-inch thickness with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin.
• Stir together flour, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl or a pie plate. Whisk together eggs and a pinch of salt in another shallow bowl, then put bread crumbs in a third shallow bowl.
• Pat chicken dry and dredge in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dip in eggs, letting excess drip off, then dredge in bread crumbs, coating completely. Transfer to a wax-paper-lined tray and chill 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch heavy nonstick skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then fry cutlets in 2 or 3 batches (without crowding), turning over once, until golden brown and just cooked through, about 3 minutes per batch. (Add 2 tablespoons oil to skillet between batches.) Drain cutlets on paper towels, then transfer to platter in oven to keep warm.
• Add butter and capers to skillet and heat over moderate heat, swirling skillet, until butter is melted. Stir in parsley and pour sauce over cutlets.

Steps:

• Mix panko and paprika in shallow dish. Beat egg to blend in small dish. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and dip into egg, then panko, coating completely.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned, crisp, and cooked through, turning once, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to platter. Add remaining butter and anchovies with capers to skillet. Cook over medium heat until mixture turns brown, mashing anchovies to blend into butter, about 1 minute. Add wine; simmer until slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 tablespoons chives.
• Spoon sauce over chicken and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 tablespoon chives. Serve with lemon wedges.

• In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/4 cup of the canola oil. Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
• Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook over moderately high heat until browned and nutty, about 4 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and parsley; spoon over the chicken and serve.
