Chicken Schnitzel With Capers and Lemon

Schnitzel, in German, simply means cutlet. It’s usually veal, however, Chicken Schnitzel With Capers and Lemon is a delicious schnitzel!

 

This recipe uses chicken breasts and also uses panko breadcrumbs in place of regular breadcrumbs. Schnitzel isn’t a hard or complex recipe, and we didn’t want to make it hard either.

For our sauce, we combined some butter with capers, lemon juice, and a sprinkling of parsley to make a wonderful, creamy texture.

The Panko breadcrumbs really make this dish. Definitely not boring!

Served it with roasted new potatoes and Brussels sprouts salad.

Chicken Schnitzel With Capers and Lemon
Ingredients
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves about 6 ounces each
  • salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup canola oil
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons capers
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
  1. Set the flour, eggs and panko in three separate shallow bowls. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the eggs and coat thoroughly with the panko, pressing lightly to adhere.
  2. In each of 2 large skillets, heat 1/4 cup of the canola oil. Add the chicken and cook over moderately high heat, turning once, until golden and crispy, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook over moderately high heat until browned and nutty, about 4 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and parsley; spoon over the chicken and serve.

Amish Oven-Fried Chicken – Really Crispy

This Amish Oven-Fried Chicken is surprisingly simple and oh so good. It turns out great–very moist, tender and the crust is yummy.

 

Tastes as good as skillet-fried but since it’s made in the oven it’s much healthier.

A great way to “fry” that chicken without all of the splatters on top of the stove. A good recipe. It’s good cold too.

For an extra treat use the drippings to make great milk gravy. Great with mashed potatoes for a southern fried chicken dinner.
