Grandma kept her Wiener Schnitzel Recipe a closely guarded secret. But, it’s not that hard to figure out. Comfort food for all of us, German or otherwise.
A really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. It’s also very, very good with pork medallions.
If the meat is pounded quite thin and the oil is quite hot then it browns quickly without overcooking the meat. The lemon gives it a lovely flavor.

This recipe reminds me so much of my Grandma's Wiener Schnitzel Recipe.
- 1 lb turkey cutlets or 1 lb boneless chicken breasts or 1 lb veal if you're feeling fancy
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
- 1 egg
- cooking oil
Pound meat until it is less than 1/4 inch thick.
Into a large skillet, pour oil approximately 1/4-inch deep; heat until oil bubbles when you drop in a pinch of breadcrumbs.
Beat egg, add 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Add parsley to breadcrumbs.
Dredge meat in egg, then breadcrumb mixture; fry until golden brown on each side.
Sprinkle with remaining lemon juice.
Enjoy Grandma’s Wiener Schnitzel Recipe!
