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.

 

Enjoy!

15 Minutes Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo – It’s The Cream Cheese That Makes The Difference!

Yummy and Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo! This is very good and quick and easy. Creamy, buttery and thick! Just the way I like my Alfredo.

15 Minutes Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo

I have used this recipe off and on for several years. It really works great when you are short on time or energy. It’s ready in 15 minutes!

What Is Fettuccine?

Fettuccine noodles are just another form of pasta!

They’re similar to spaghetti but instead of being round they’re wide and flat. You don’t absolutely have to use fettuccine in this dish. Spaghetti would do fine. Or any pasta for that matter!

I’ve never had fettuccine Alfredo at Olive Garden but theirs just couldn’t be better than this. I feel this is the best Alfredo sauce recipe in existence!!!

It’s the cream cheese that adds all the creaminess. In fact it could be called Fettuccine Alfredo with cream cheese.

It’s soooo simple and soooo good. Plus you can also add all kinds of goodies! Want Creamy Fettuccine Alfredo with Shrimp? Just add shrimp!!!

Indian Tacos on Fry Bread – Outstanding!

I love Indian Tacos on Fry Bread for a change from regular tacos or burritos. It’s the fry bread that makes them special! I enjoy having them often.

 

Indian tacos, made with Indian fry bread, are popular attractions at most outdoor summer events in the southwest, including fairs, festivals, and most anything else where people gather.

They primarily consist of beans or ground beef, chopped lettuce, sliced tomato, shredded Cheddar cheese, and optional ingredients such as green chiles.

You can also top with salsa if desired.

It’s all served atop large rounds of crispy Indian fry bread. It’s the perfect fair fare! Just fill the taco, roll it up, and eat it!

People line up to wait their turn to buy freshly made Indian tacos. With this recipe, you can make your own. No need to wait in line!

What a treat to have such a delicious Ground Beef Dish and only one pot to wash!

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: American
Keyword: Ground Beef One Pot Meal
Servings: 6
Calories: 365 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 28 ounce can tomatoes, crushed
  • 1 8 ounce package egg noodles
  • 1 fresh jalapeno optional
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground basil
  • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 8 ounce box frozen corn kernels (or peas or green beans)
Instructions

  1. Place the ground beef in a pot that is large enough to hold all the ingredients and to cook the noodles with the other ingredients. Lightly cover the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic, red pepper flakes, basil and Italian spice mix.

  2. Brown the ground beef.

  3. Cut the jalapeno length wise, remove seeds and white ribs. Mince the jalapeno - so no one gets a big chunk of jalapeno when they bite into the meal.

  4. After the meat is browned, add the jalapeno, tomato and 1 can of water to rinse out tomato can. Stir well. (Make sure the liquid is adequate to cook the noodles.) Cook this mixture for about 15 minutes to get the spices well mixed with the tomatoes.

  5. Add the frozen vegetable - bring up to boil. Then add the egg noodles - cook until tender, about 7 or 8 minutes after the mixture comes to boil after adding the noodles.

  6. When the noodles are cooked, cover and remove from heat. Allow the meal to sit for 5 - 10 minutes, covered and off heat.

Classic Beef Tacos – Best Ground Beef Taco Recipe

These Classic Beef Tacos are wonderful for Taco Tuesday. This is the best ground beef taco recipe! A step back to the traditional taco.

 

No fish or pineapple in these tacos. Just good ground beef and seasonings.

The meat has a good tex/mex flavor. I like the way the spices go together. They blend well.

The mixture is a little dry when the tomato paste and spices are added but that’s intentional. When the taco is assembled everything is perfect!

I love tacos and this Classic Beef Taco recipe is my favorite.

Course: Main Course
Cuisine: Mexican
Keyword: Classic Beef Tacos
Servings: 6
Calories: 295 kcal
Ingredients
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 onion diced
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons mild chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cilantro
  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheese
  • 1 cup shredded lettuce
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • taco sauce
  • oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oil on medium-hi. (Choose the pan for frying the shells carefully. It should be just a little bigger than the taco shells in diameter, and have straight sides so the minimum amount of oil can be used. It's easier to handle the shells if the pan is fairly shallow - no more than 3 inches deep.).
  2. In a separate pan, brown the onion with the meat and drain the grease.
  3. Add the tomato paste and spices. Continue to simmer meat while frying shells.
  4. Fry each tortilla quickly, less than a minute each, folding in the middle while frying. Drain on paper towels. Add more oil if needed. Shells should still be fairly soft.
  5. Fill the taco shells with ground beef mixture and serve.
  6. Cheese, lettuce, tomato, sour cream and taco sauce should be served with the tacos so that everyone can fix their own.
