Paprika Chicken Schnitzel with Fried Eggs (Holstein) image

This past holiday season I visited Vienna for the first time with my mom, brother and husband. We all had our fill of schnitzel. Back home, I combined elements from a few versions and a twist or 2 of my own. This dish can be made with veal, chicken or pork cutlets.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 pieces chicken breast
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Flour
6 eggs, divided
2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
2 tablespoons sweet paprika
A handful flat-leaf parsley, leaves chopped
1 lemon, zested and juiced, divided, plus wedges for serving
4 to 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 jar roasted red peppers, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon butter
1 heart romaine lettuce, shredded
8 anchovy fillets
4 tablespoons capers

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees F. Place a baking sheet in oven to keep cooked cutlets crisp.
  • Butterfly the chicken breast pieces across the breast but not all the way through, open the meat up and set into a plastic food storage bag or 2 pieces waxed paper. Gently pound out each piece into very thin, large cutlets. Pile cutlets on a plate and season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange a station for breading: flour, 2 beaten eggs, bread crumbs mixed with paprika, parsley and the zest of a lemon.
  • Heat just enough oil to coat the bottom of a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat.
  • Bread 2 cutlets in flour, then egg, then bread crumb mixture and cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, transfer to oven, add a bit more oil, if necessary, and repeat. Keep the cooked cutlets hot in the warm oven. Wipe pan clean, add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil heat then add roasted red peppers, season with salt and pepper and wilt them 4 to 5 minutes.
  • While cutlets are in oven and peppers are cooking up, heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 4 eggs and fry to desired doneness, season with salt and pepper.
  • Arrange some lettuce on each dinner plate, top with 1 cutlet, and some of the lemon juice over top. Arrange some roasted red pepper strips, 2 anchovy fillets, 1 tablespoon capers and a fried egg, sunny-side up or over easy on top of the cutlets. Serve with lemon wedges.

This is an old Betty Crocker recipe that has been used by our family for years. The page is stained and wrinkled from so much use. Haven't found a better recipe for this traditional recipe yet! My only modification in this recipe is less salt, and we use oil instead of shortening.

WIENER SCHNITZEL



Wiener Schnitzel image

This authentic Wiener schnitzel, simply breaded with flour, egg, and fine breadcrumbs, proves that fried food doesn't have to be heavy. Chef Ban will show you the secret to achieving an airy pocket of golden crust around the meat, which is the hallmark of a good schnitzel.

Provided by Wolfgang Ban

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups plain breadcrumbs, for homemade, pulse stale bread in a food processor until fine
3 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart vegetable oil, plus more as needed, total amount may vary depending on size/shape of frying vessel
4 veal cutlets, about 1 lb (454 g) total
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges
Flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Sift the breadcrumbs through a fine-mesh strainer into a large mixing bowl, and set aside. (Save the coarse crumbs in the strainer for another use.) In another large bowl, add the eggs and whisk to combine. In the third bowl, add the flour. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot set over high heat, add enough vegetable oil to reach a depth of 1 to 1½ inches. Clip a thermometer onto the pot and bring oil to 380 degrees F. Meanwhile, prepare the cutlets.
  • Lightly oil one side of two freezer bags. Optional: Trim the veal cutlets to your desired size (Chef Ban uses pieces about 4 inches long). Place a cutlet between the oiled sides of the bags, then use the bottom of a heavy skillet (or a meat tenderizer) to pound the cutlets until they are of a uniform thickness, about ⅛ inch. Set flattened cutlet aside and repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Place the cutlets, evenly spaced, on a wire rack fitted into a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper on both sides. Coat first cutlet completely with flour; tap off excess flour. Next, dip the cutlet in the egg; gently wipe off excess egg. Finally, cover the cutlet with breadcrumbs until evenly and completely coated; gently shake off the excess breadcrumbs. Return cutlet to the wire rack, then repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Prepare another wire rack fitted into a rimmed baking sheet for the finished schnitzels. When the oil is at 380 degrees F, gently submerge the first cutlet in the oil. About 30 seconds later, when it floats to the surface, use a ladle to carefully and continually baste the top of the schnitzel with hot oil until the crust is golden and puffs up, about 3 minutes. (This basting action helps create a pocket of air between the meat and the crust-the hallmark of a good schnitzel.) After 3 minutes, flip and baste again, 2-3 more minutes. (Adjust heat as needed to keep temperature at 380 degrees F.) After a total of 5-6 minutes of cooking, schnitzel should be puffed and golden brown on both sides. Use a strainer to remove schnitzel and transfer to clean wire rack or a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Make sure the oil is at 380 degrees F before cooking the next cutlet. Repeat with remaining cutlets.
  • Plate the Wiener schnitzel gently to avoid breaking the crust. Garnish with lemon wedges and a few leaves of parsley. Serve immediately.

WIENER SCHNITZEL



Wiener Schnitzel image

Perfect golden Wiener schnitzel can be a work of art. Or it can be the worst dish of your life, more like a piece of lead. the eggs have to be beaten with a little cream to make them fluffier, the bread crumbs are not pressed onto the meat, and when you cook the schnitzel -- and you always do only one slice at a time -- you keep it moving in the pan, nearly covered with bubbling oil. That's the only way to get the coating on the veal to form a puckery, crunchy surface. I use the top round cut. The very white milk-fed veal doesn't have enough flavor. You don't have to worry so much about tenderness because the veal is pounded. Each portion is cut on the bias about a half inch thick. Make sure all the membrane, or silver skin, is removed. Slice each piece through the middle, not quite all the way, then open it like a book, a butterfly. Place it between sheets of plastic and pound it flat and evenly, not too hard. You can trim away any ragged edges.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 pounds veal top round cut in 5-ounce scaloppines
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
1 cup flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 cups unseasoned bakery bread crumbs
2 cups vegetable oil
1/2 cup, packed, flat-leaf parsley leaves, rinsed, well-dried and coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 lemon wedges
Cucumber or bibb lettuce salad in vinaigrette dressing

Steps:

  • One at a time, place veal pieces in heavy 1-quart plastic bag, and pound thin with meat pounder. Place veal on large platter, and lightly salt and pepper both sides.
  • Put flour in shallow bowl wide enough to hold a piece of veal flat. Put eggs and cream in a similar bowl. Beat to blend. Put bread crumbs in a third similar bowl.
  • Heat oven to 175 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment. Arrange bowls near stove, along with a platter covered with layers of paper towel and a small plate covered with layers of paper towel.
  • Heat oil in an 11- to 12-inch skillet or sauteacute; pan, the deeper the better. When oil is quite hot, put parsley in strainer, put in oil, and fry 10 seconds. Remove parsley, draining well, and place on the small plate. Add butter to skillet, and adjust heat to medium.
  • Put 1 slice veal in flour, cover well, then shake off excess. Dip in egg, turning to coat. Put in bread crumbs, coating well, then shake off excess. Put in skillet, and fry about one minute, gently moving pan in circular motion on the burner. Oil should be frothy. When breading looks bubbly and starts to brown, turn and cook another minute, then transfer to paper-towel-lined platter. Repeat with remaining veal, adjusting heat so crumb coating cooks gradually and evenly, without burning.
  • Place the cooked, drained schnitzels on a baking sheet, and put in the oven until ready to serve, up to 15 minutes.
  • Arrange veal on platter or individual plates. Garnish with lemon wedges and fried parsley, and serve with salad.
