Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 (1/4-inch-thick) chicken cutlets (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 lb total)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs
4 to 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons bottled capers, rinsed, drained, and patted dry
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
Accompaniment: lemon wedges

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.

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.

Tips:

  • To ensure the schnitzel is cooked evenly, use a meat mallet to pound it to an even thickness before breading.
  • For a crispy coating, use a combination of flour, egg, and breadcrumbs for the breading.
  • To prevent the schnitzel from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick skillet or add a little oil.
  • Cook the schnitzel over medium heat so that it has time to cook through without burning.
  • Serve the schnitzel immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a simple green salad.

Conclusion:

Chicken schnitzel is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for lunch or dinner. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken breasts, and it can be easily customized to your liking. With a crispy coating and a tender, juicy interior, chicken schnitzel is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
