Chicken Schnitzel

Pan fried Chicken Schnitzel - made with thinly flattened, tender chicken breasts, a light seasoning, a simple breading and cooked in a hot skillet to achieve a beautifully golden brown, super crisp finish.

From there you can serve it with simply fresh herbs and tart lemon wedges for spritzing, or your favorite dipping sauce (honey mustard, bbq sauce, ranch etc), chicken gravy or other creamy pan sauce.

What is Chicken Schnitzel?

Schnitzel is a German and Austrian dish made with meat that is pounded very thin then it's coated in a standard three layer breading including flour, eggs and some type of bread crumb (such as bread crumbs, matzo meal or in this case panko), after that it's fried in a bit of oil until browned and cooked through.

To me chicken schnitzel is like a grown up, fancier version of chicken nuggets with a similar taste and texture. Just simple but delicious, with an excellent texture.

It's a straightforward process to follow and easier to make than you'd think. And I'd say yes it is definitely worth the extra dishes it takes to bread the chicken.

It is a dinner item my family has requested be added to a regular rotation, and I have the feeling yours may agree with that too!

Wondering what to serve with chicken schnitzel?

I recommend serving with:

Chicken in White Wine Sauce

Chicken in White Wine Sauce - it's one of the most delicious ways to finish pan seared chicken! And you'll love that it's simple enough for a weekday, yet impressive enough for a weekend dinner with guests! This post is sponsored by Danish Creamery. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Chicken with the Best White Wine Sauce Chicken breasts are pan seared until perfectly browned and tender. Then finely diced onions are sautéed until they've picked up some color. Next, bright white wine and chicken broth are added and simmered to concentrate their flavor. Last but not least, the sauce is polished off with rich butter. And we don't just use any ordinary butter. Here we use the ultra delicious, extra luxurious Danish Creamery European Style Butter Danish Creamery European Style Butter which is slow churned in small batches for a velvety texture and rich flavor. The unique thing I love about this butter is that they've been using the same recipe since 1985!
