Indulge in the culinary delight of schnitzel, a classic dish that tantalizes taste buds with its crispy exterior and tender interior. Originating from Austria, this breaded and fried meat cutlet has captivated hearts and palates worldwide. Our exploration takes you on a journey through three distinct schnitzel recipes, each offering a unique twist on this beloved dish.
First, we present the traditional Wiener Schnitzel, a culinary masterpiece that embodies the essence of Austrian cuisine. Veal cutlets are meticulously pounded thin, coated in a golden breadcrumb crust, and pan-fried to perfection. The result is a symphony of flavors and textures, where the crispy coating yields to the juicy and succulent meat.
Next, we venture into the realm of Jäger Schnitzel, a hearty and flavorful variation that incorporates a rich and savory mushroom sauce. Sliced mushrooms are sautéed in butter and combined with a luscious cream sauce, creating an irresistible accompaniment to the crispy schnitzel.
Finally, we introduce the delightful Chicken Schnitzel, a versatile and family-friendly option that caters to a broader audience. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are pounded thin, breaded, and fried, resulting in a crispy and tender schnitzel that pairs wonderfully with a variety of sides.

RAHMSCHNITZEL (GERMAN SCHNITZEL IN CREAMY MUSHROOM SAUCE)
I lived in Germany for 7 years and fell in love with Rahmschnitzel. Every recipe I found says to use dry white wine in the sauce. Every time I made it, something was missing. It wasn't that "Yep, I'm in Germany" taste. Then my beautiful wife had a Riesling one night and I used it. Now we're back in Germany!

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE
Steps:
- Remove the chicken breasts from the bone. Slice each breast in half lengthwise. Put them between pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet or a small skillet until they are 1/4-inch thick.
- Set up a breading station with three pie plates or shallow dishes. Put the flour in one and season it with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, the eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons of water in another, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken in 1 layer and cook until it is golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on brown paper and keep warm while you make the sauce.
- In another skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted, add mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are browned, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the stock and simmer for 4 minutes and reduce by one third. Add the Worcestershire sauce, turn the heat off, and let cool for a minute before stirring in the sour cream. Serve the Schnitzel with the sauce poured over the top, garnished with parsley.

Tips:
- For a crispy schnitzel, make sure to use thin slices of meat and pound them until they are very thin. This will help the meat cook evenly and become crispy.
- Use a good quality breadcrumb mixture. You can use store-bought or make your own by combining breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, and dried herbs.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the schnitzel. This will help the schnitzel brown evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the schnitzel. This will help the schnitzel cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
- For a creamy mushroom sauce, use a combination of mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms in butter until they are soft and golden brown.
- Add a splash of white wine or dry sherry to the mushroom sauce for extra flavor.
- Serve the schnitzel with the mushroom sauce, mashed potatoes, or roasted vegetables.

Schnitzel with mushroom sauce is a classic dish that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can make a schnitzel that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a creamy mushroom sauce that is full of flavor.
