Best 2 Chicken Schnitzel With Pan Roasted Grapes Recipes
Chicken schnitzel is a classic dish that can be found in many restaurants and homes around the world. It is a simple dish to make, but it can be elevated with careful attention to detail. The chicken is pounded thin and then coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs before being fried until golden brown. This creates a crispy outer layer that contrasts with the tender and juicy chicken inside. Pan-roasted grapes add a sweet and tangy flavor to the dish, and they also help to deglaze the pan, creating a flavorful sauce. This recipe also includes a variation for baked chicken schnitzel, which is a healthier option that still delivers on flavor. Additionally, there's a recipe for a creamy mushroom sauce that pairs perfectly with the chicken schnitzel and a recipe for a simple green salad that rounds out the meal.

PAN ROASTED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GRAPES AND OLIVES
Our chopped challenge this week was grapes. We really wanted to cook with them, but needed to figure out how to balance out their sweetness. The combo of grapes with chicken thighs and lots of salty ingredients hits the perfect salty/sweet note. Chopped Basket Ingredient: Grapes

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken liberally with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large, ovenproof high-sided skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Sear the chicken, skin-side down, until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Then flip and brown the other side, 3 to 4 minutes. You may need to do this in two batches to avoid crowding the skillet. Transfer the browned chicken and any juices to a baking sheet or large plate.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the garlic, 1 cup of the grapes, the olives, capers, oregano, wine and 1/2 cup water. Stir to combine and cook until the liquid has reduced by half, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the butter. Add the chicken and any juices back to the skillet, skin-side-up. Sprinkle the remaining grapes around the chicken. Continue cooking over medium heat until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F, 6 to 8 minutes.
- Set the oven to broil with a rack set about 4 inches from the broiler.
- Place the skillet underneath the broiler to crisp the chicken skin, about 2 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- To serve, divide the warm couscous among 4 plates and top each plate with 2 of the chicken thighs and a large spoonful of the sauce.
CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH PAN-ROASTED GRAPES
No matter how you spin it, making schnitzel is a bit of a process. But by starting with thinly sliced chicken breasts, or chicken cutlets, this recipe removes the most time-consuming step - pounding the chicken - and makes schnitzel more doable on a weeknight. The contrast in temperatures and textures from the pan-roasted grapes and tangy sour cream make for perfectly balanced bites. Serve with a simple green salad with a lemony vinaigrette.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium. Add the grapes, 1 1/2 tablespoons rosemary, the vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a pinch of black pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, tossing often and smashing down some of the grapes with the back of a wooden spoon as they begin to soften. Transfer the grapes and their juices to a small dish. Wipe out the skillet with a damp paper towel and set aside. In another small bowl, combine the sour cream, 2 teaspoons lemon juice (reserve the zest for serving), and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl or rimmed plate. In a second bowl, whisk together the eggs and mustard until smooth. In a third bowl, mix the panko with the remaining 1 teaspoon minced rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- Pat dry the chicken with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper. Working one at a time, dip the chicken breasts into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally, the panko mixture. Place the prepared breasts on a plate until ready to cook. (At this point, the chicken breasts may be covered and stored in the refrigerator for several hours before cooking.)
- Heat 1/4 cup grapeseed oil in the sauté pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot (it should sizzle if you drop a bread crumb into the pan), place two breasts, evenly spaced, in the pan and cook for 1½ to 2 minutes on each side, until golden brown and just cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel and sprinkle with salt. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil to the pan and repeat the process with the other two breasts.
- Transfer the chicken to a serving platter, spoon the grapes on top and sprinkle the lemon zest over the chicken. Serve with the lemon-sour cream on the side.
Tips:
- For the crispiest schnitzel, make sure the chicken is pounded thin and evenly coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs.
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet over medium heat to cook the schnitzel. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking and burning.
- Cook the schnitzel for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- To make the pan-roasted grapes, use a variety of colors of grapes for a more visually appealing dish.
- Cook the grapes over medium heat until they begin to blister and caramelize.
- Serve the schnitzel immediately with the pan-roasted grapes and your favorite sides.
Conclusion:
Chicken schnitzel with pan-roasted grapes is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The schnitzel is crispy and flavorful, while the grapes add a sweet and tangy touch. This dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.
