Delicious! I followed the recipe except that I added a cup of broth to the sauce and also a touch of paprika to the chicken.

Good, but not very much like any jager schnitzel I have eaten in Germany. Also, definitely need to make more of the sauce. And I subbed pork chops for the chicken.

My DH loved this recipe. I would double the mushrooms and the sauce ingredients next time. We enjoyed this with buttered egg noodles. A very filling and satisfying dish!
