Chicken Schnitzel
Ready In: 30 mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
- coarse salt
- ground pepper
- 1 cup fresh breadcrumb (made from 3 slices white bread)
- 1⁄2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 4 (6 ounce) chicken cutlets, pounded to an even 1/4 inch thickness
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1⁄4 cup dry white wine
- 1⁄2 cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Directions
- Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
- In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese.
- Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick.
- For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
- Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
- Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
- Heat butter until melted and add wine.
- Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Simmer 2 minutes.
- Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve.
- Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
