Simple Austrian Schnitzel

January 27, 2015 By BrightGreenDoor

Schnitzel RecipeIn college I spent a semester in Austria where I was introduced to SO many new and wonderful foods. One of my favorites was schnitzel. I liked it so much that I decided to try my hand at replicating it with my own version of simple austrian schnitzel.

How to make Schnitzel with Chicken

Because veal isn’t a readily available cut of meat here, I just use chicken breasts that I just slice thinly. First I coat them in a mix of egg, garlic, and parley. Then I dip them into a mix of breadcrumbs and parmesan. After that I just lightly fry the outside. Then I finish cooking the chicken by baking it in the oven.

Next I mix a lemon sauce so that as soon as it comes out of the oven I can pour the sauce over it.

Schnitzel Recipe

Typically I put the schnitzel right on the bed of egg noodles so that the sauce can really soak into both the schnitzel and noodles.

This recipe also freezes REALLY well if you freeze it before baking.
