Introduction
A classic Austrian dish featuring crispy, golden-brown chicken breast shallow-fried in clarified butter. It is traditionally served alongside a savory, warm potato salad and a creamy, refreshing dill cucumber salad.
Step 1
Butterfly the chicken breast by cutting from the rounded side towards the straight side, opening it like a book.
Step 2
Wet the cutting board slightly to secure a layer of plastic wrap, place the chicken on top, and cover with another layer of plastic wrap.
Step 3
Gently pound the thick parts of the chicken breast with a meat mallet to achieve an even thickness.
Step 4
Set up three dredging dishes: seasoned flour, egg wash (beaten eggs mixed with salt, pepper, and freshly grated lemon zest), and seasoned breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Dredge the chicken breast in seasoned flour (shake off excess), dip thoroughly in the egg wash, and coat completely with the seasoned breadcrumbs.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Clarified butter is ideal for frying schnitzel as it has a higher smoke point than regular butter and provides an incredibly rich flavor.
Pounding the chicken ensures even cooking; otherwise, the thinner parts will dry out before the thicker sections cook through.
Adding lemon zest directly into the egg wash infuses a subtle citrus aroma that penetrates the breading without burning.
Wetting the cutting board before applying plastic wrap helps the wrap stick securely, making it much easier to pound the meat.
