Cafe Noir Chicken Schnitzel Recipes

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
• In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese.
• Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick.
• For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat.
• Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side.
• Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce.
• Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels.
• Heat butter until melted and add wine.
• Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice.
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Simmer 2 minutes.
• Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve.
• Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

Steps:

• Prepare the breading station: Set 4 large, shallow bowls or quarter sheet trays side by side in a row. Add flour in the leftmost bowl. Add the eggs and mustard into the second bowl. Whisk with a fork until combined well. Add the breadcrumbs into the third bowl. Leave the last one empty. You'll place your breaded chicken on it.

Steps:

• Pour 1 1/2 inches of oil into a large heavy pot or high-sided skillet. Clip on a deep-fry thermometer and heat the oil over medium-high heat to 360 degrees F.
• Set up a dredging station: Place the flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs in each of 3 separate bowls. Season the breadcrumbs with the paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and a few turns of pepper.
• Place a piece of chicken between 2 large pieces of plastic wrap and use a rolling pin or other blunt object to pound the chicken until it is as thin as you can make it without it tearing. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
• Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg wash and finally in the breadcrumbs. Fry in batches, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet to drain; season both sides with salt and pepper. Hold in a warm oven if not serving immediately. Serve with lemon wedges.
