We really enjoyed these. They were flavorful and filling. Have never had schnitzel so don't know how true to form these are. They were easier to make than I thought (I tend to shy away from recipes with very many steps). I was surprised that the chicken was not the least bit dry (I am very good at overcooking chicken!). I will serve these again but not often because of the fat content. Thanks for posting this!

This is a HUGE family, friend, and visitor favorite at my house. I was so glad to see it posted here! When I make it I have to double it so I get to eat some too!! My little sister just requested I make it for her birthday. My husband also enjoys leftovers with cheese as a sandwich the next day. I do find it a bit time consuming and messy (dip, dip, dip) but WELL worth the effort!
