Best 8 German Schnitzel Recipes

SCHNITZEL - THIN BREADED GERMAN PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• 1. Prepare the meat by trimming off the fat. Flatten or pound it, without tearing, to a uniform 1/4 inch thickness. Season with a mixture of salt, pepper and paprika.
• 2. For the next steps, you should handle the meat with a fork or you will have a mess on your fingers. Dredge the meat in flour until well coated. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Dip the chops into the eggs and cover them with breadcrumbs.
• 3. Leave the breaded meat rest on a cookie sheet or on a wire rack for a while (15 minutes) to give the breading a chance to adhere better.
• 4. Preheat your oven to 225 degrees.
• 5. Heat the fat in a large skillet. Cook the Schnitzel on both sides until they are nicely browned. When all of them are finished put them into the pre-heated oven for about 1/2 hour. NOTE: This last important step allows the seasonings to be absorbed by the meat.

HäHNCHEN SCHNITZEL (GERMAN PAN FRIED BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

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. Place chicken cutlets between two sheets of waxed paper and beat as thinly as possible with a meat mallet. 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.

• Coat each Pork Schnitzel first in flour, than in egg mix and at last in the bread crumbs.
• Heat one or two table spoons of butter in a large pan over medium heat. You can ad a drop of oil to prevent the butter from burning.
• Once the butter is melted and the pan is hot ad the breaded Schnitzel. Take care not to crowd the pan, rather fry the Schnitzel in portions than overcrowd the pan.
• Fry quickly until the breading turns golden brown. If necessary, add some more butter, this will help to achieve the right color. Frying will only take a couple of minutes on each side since the meat is so thin.
• After approximately 4 minutes total frying time, remove Schnitzel from pan and pat dry in a piece of kitchen towel. This will help to remove excess fat and safe you some calories.
• Garnish each Schnitzel with a lemon slice (the lemon juice ads a great flavor to the Schnitzel).
• Serve traditionally with French Fries and ketchup or with Roast Potatoes and a light gravy or with a German Potato Salad.
