Traditionally, the recipe calls for veal veal kidney, but pork loin and chicken can be used in place of veal.

ZURCHER GESCHNETZELTES (ZURICH-STYLE VEAL STRIPS IN CREAM SAUCE)
This is a mouthwatering Swiss specialty dish originating in the town of Zurich, Switzerland. Typically served with Rosti (Swiss hashbrowns), but equally good with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or dumplings. There are many versions of Geschnetzeltes that can be found throughout the region in restaurants and in home kitchens, alike. I particularly like this version with lemon and parsley.
