Chicken schnitzel is prepared quickly, because... Poultry meat is quite soft. You can cook schnitzel from pork or beef in the same way. In this schnitzel recipe I will be using chicken breasts.

To prepare chicken schnitzel, we need chicken breast or chicken fillet, chicken eggs, salt, ground black pepper, nutmeg, garlic, wheat flour, breadcrumbs and vegetable oil for deep-frying.

Rinse the chicken breast and remove the skin. Carefully remove the chicken fillet from the bone. Cut each fillet into pieces about 1cm thick.

Wrap the fillet pieces in film and beat with a hammer.

Squeeze a peeled clove of garlic onto the fillet, add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Stir and leave to marinate for 20 minutes.

First roll the fillet pieces in flour.

Then dip the schnitzel thoroughly in the beaten egg on both sides, lift it over the bowl, and let the excess egg drip off.

Toss the fillet in breadcrumbs. Press the schnitzel into the breading on both sides so that the breadcrumbs more tightly fill the entire surface of the schnitzel.

Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan. Place the schnitzels and fry until golden brown on one side over low heat. Then turn the schnitzels over to the other side and continue frying for a few more minutes.

Place the schnitzels on a napkin to remove excess fat.

Our chicken schnitzels are ready, serve hot. Bon appetit!

We offer the simplest recipe for exceptionally tender chicken schnitzel with an amazingly beautiful crust of crispy breadcrumbs. The information from the excellent chef Ksyu Putan about waste-free production is also very useful: we collect the scraps, beat them in a special way, and no one will notice that the schnitzel is not from a whole piece.

Chops in breadcrumbs

Products

For eight servings you need about two and a half full-weight breasts. Chicken schnitzel will require a few more simple ingredients: four tablespoons of flour, the same amount of breadcrumbs, three eggs, salt, optional pepper, refined vegetable oil (for frying).

Preparation

Rinse the chicken fillet and dry it with a paper towel. From each breast you need to cut off a piece of the thick edge and some meat from the inside, which naturally separates when cutting. You will get five almost identical pieces that need to be beaten off - always on the smooth side. What was cut at the very beginning must first be beaten individually, then the edges of the pieces are placed on top of each other and an additional three portions are formed. Now you need to carefully beat off the connection points. You will have to bread and fry this prefabricated chicken schnitzel even more carefully, then no one will suspect a lack of integrity. You just need to support the joints from below with your fingers.

Frying

Pour flour with salt and pepper into a plate, crackers into another, break into a separate container and simply stir the eggs with a fork (no need to beat). Pour about a centimeter of vegetable oil into the frying pan, heat and reduce heat to medium. The chops are first breaded in flour on both sides, then dipped in the egg mixture, and finally rolled in breadcrumbs. You need to make sure that each chicken schnitzel is completely covered with the egg mixture (leison), and the excess flows back into the container. Do not overcook under any circumstances - two minutes on each side is enough to avoid drying out the tender meat. It would be very correct to fry each batch in new oil - chicken breast schnitzel will not pick up overcooked crumbs left in the pan after the last batch, and will be equally beautiful. You don’t have to wash the pan: drain the oil and wipe the bottom with a paper towel. Chicken schnitzel in breadcrumbs will have an excellent appearance and a taste that is very unusual for dietary products - thus the cooked breast ceases to be a boring meal.

Chopped chicken schnitzel

Want to get juicy chicken breast? A meat grinder or blender will help you, then it will be preserved and will even add more tenderness to the chicken meat - thanks to the breading.

Will need

Two chicken breasts, two eggs, flour and breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, vegetable oil. Meat grinder or blender.

Preparation

Grind or chop the chicken breasts in a blender, add salt and pepper to the minced meat, and divide into portions. Place a frying pan with vegetable oil on the fire. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl. Pour flour and crackers into two containers. Wet your hands with water and form a schnitzel-shaped cutlet from one portion of minced meat, roll in flour, dip in egg, bread with breadcrumbs and place in a frying pan. Reduce heat to medium. Do this with each portion of minced meat. Wet your hands with water so that the minced meat does not stick to them and does not interfere with molding. Fry for a short time - until crusty, about 3-4 minutes on each side. This simple recipe for chicken schnitzels is invariably successful and is suitable even for a holiday table.

Wiener schnitzel, but made from chicken

For a kilogram of chicken breasts you will need five tablespoons of flour and breadcrumbs, two eggs, salt, pepper, and vegetable oil.

Preparation

Peel the chicken breast from all small and protruding pieces so that there remains a solid part that needs to be divided in half, cutting along the thick part, but not cutting all the way through. Open the chicken schnitzel like a book, add salt, pepper and beat it to form huge thin layers. Season with pepper - whatever you like. Prepare in three vessels: lezon (beat eggs and a little water), wheat or buckwheat flour, breadcrumbs - all separately!

Preparation

Heat a frying pan, pour in a lot of vegetable oil (about three fingers), add a piece of carrot or potato so that there is no burnt taste. Bread each chicken schnitzel with flour, then in egg, then in breadcrumbs and carefully lower into hot oil. Fry for only two minutes on each side, since the Viennese chicken breast schnitzel should be very thin. Remove to a paper towel to allow excess fat to be absorbed. Garnish and serve immediately.

Spicy chicken schnitzel

This simple but very winning recipe is often used by men who have no culinary experience. For example, when preparing for Women's Day.

Will need

Three chicken breasts, an egg, a glass of flour, lemon, three cloves of garlic, vegetable or clarified butter, finely grated nutmeg, salt and freshly ground pepper.

Preparation

Cut the fillet, washed and dried with a towel, almost all the way down the middle, and unfold it like a butterfly. Beat lightly (convenient and effective - with the bottom of a small heavy frying pan, then the fillet will not tear). Place the chopped breasts in a bowl, squeezing garlic onto each clove, adding salt, pepper and nutmeg. Thoroughly rub all these spices into the meat, cover and leave in the marinade for a quarter of an hour. At this time, prepare the breading: beat the egg in a deep plate, pour flour and crackers onto two flat plates (it’s better to make them yourself by grating the crackers of a white roll on a grater). Now the marinated chops need to be cut with shallow cuts, maybe diamonds or squares, so that the chicken schnitzel does not curl during the frying process. Bread in flour, then in egg and finally in breadcrumbs, place on a board in a row. Heat vegetable or ghee oil - about two centimeters deep - until lightly smoking, lower the schnitzel into this deep fryer for two minutes, then turn over. After another two minutes, remove it to a paper towel and fry the next chicken schnitzel. Be sure to garnish with lemon, herbs and fresh vegetables.

It is no secret that any meat, including poultry, can be prepared in a thousand ways, but the most delicious dish is the one that reveals the natural taste of this product. Chicken schnitzel in the oven is one of these dishes, the recipes for which we will go through with you today. This fairly common dish is so simple and at the same time ingenious that it will definitely be appreciated by both lovers of haute cuisine and supporters of home cooking.

Chicken schnitzel, classic recipe in the oven

The most famous variation of the recipe for this dish includes very few ingredients - the main role is given to the chicken fillet, which is breaded. We will make some additions that will prevent the meat from drying out.

Ingredients

• Chicken loin – 4 pcs;
• Iodized salt – 1 tsp;
• Large eggs – 3 pcs;
• Black pepper - to taste;
• White bread crumbs - 1.5 cups;
• Sunflower oil – 6 tbsp;
• Paprika – 2 tsp;
• Granulated garlic – 2 tsp;
• Ginger – 1 tsp.

How to bake chicken schnitzel according to the classic recipe

1. First of all, we will make aromatic oil and let it infuse. Pour sunflower oil into a small container, add paprika, garlic and ginger and stir until the mass becomes homogeneous. Set aside.
2. Now let's look at the fillet. If you took ready-made brisket halves, then simply rinse them, remove the films, cartilage and small bones, if any remain. If you took a brisket, then also remove the skin and disconnect the fillet so that it is not damaged.
3. Dry each fillet with paper towels and cut horizontally into layers. From large pieces you will get approximately 3 schnitzels 1 centimeter thick.
4. Cover each piece with cling film or put it inside a plastic bag and beat it with the flat side of a hammer or a rolling pin on each side.
5. After this, each piece of chicken should be sprinkled with salt and pepper and grated a little.
6. Break the eggs into a deep bowl and beat with a fork.
7. Pour breadcrumbs into another bowl.
8. We cover the baking tray with paper or foil, which we grease with a little vegetable oil (it is better to take the one we have prepared).
9. Dip a piece of chicken fillet first into the egg mixture, then roll it in breadcrumbs. If you want the layer of crackers to be thicker, then dip it into the egg and breading again.
10. Shake off the excess crackers and place the schnitzels on a baking sheet, while setting the oven to warm up to 190-200 degrees.
11. Lubricate the surface of the breaded schnitzels with our oil (it’s convenient to use a brush for this) and send them to bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Ready-made schnitzels can be served immediately, rather than laid out on a paper towel, since they are not at all greasy. If you wish, you can replace regular oil with olive oil, so the meat will be even more aromatic and its taste will be more refined.

Schnitzel from chopped chicken meat in the oven

If you really love the combination of chicken and cheese, then you will definitely like this recipe. Here we will process the whole meat a little, but we will not turn it into minced cutlet, but chop it coarsely.

Ingredients

• Chicken fillet – 4 pcs;
• Large eggs – 2 pcs;
• Hard cheese – 300-400 g;
• Premium flour – 6-7 tbsp;
• Salt and spices - to taste;
• Breadcrumbs - 1.5 cups.

How to cook chicken schnitzel in the oven

1. Remove fat, membranes and cartilage from chicken meat. We also check the fillets for the presence of small bones, which sometimes remain on the side surface of the pieces.
2. We wash the fillets and blot them with napkins or a towel to remove excess liquid.
3. Using a large knife or hatchet, chop the meat not very finely. Leave pieces about half a centimeter in size. It is strictly forbidden to use a meat grinder or blender, as this will prevent you from feeling the structure of the meat.
4. Set the chopped chicken aside and work on the cheese. Grate it on a coarse grater.
5. Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl until smooth and pour into a deep container.
6. We also add chopped meat and cheese here. Add a little salt (cheese also adds saltiness, remember this), pepper and add your favorite spices. Additionally, add flour here and mix everything well.
7. Line a baking tray with foil or baking paper and grease a little with oil. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
8. We form something like cutlets from the chopped mass, roll in breading and place on a baking sheet. Lubricate them on top with a brush with a small amount of oil and put them in the oven for about 20-30 minutes.
9. Take out the schnitzels when they are browned and let them cool slightly.

Due to the fact that we used minced meat rather than minced meat, the taste of cheese and chicken will be felt separately from each other. In addition, a small amount of meat juice will remain inside each chopped piece, and therefore, in general, such schnitzels will turn out very juicy and aromatic, especially while they are hot.

Let's start with the fact that schnitzel is a universal dish. Once upon a time in Austria, Wiener schnitzel was made from any type of meat: chicken, pork or veal. Nowadays, schnitzel can be fried not only from meat, but also from fish, and even from cabbage.

Chicken fillet schnitzel is easy to prepare and is a great way to feed your family or guests at the holiday table. The calorie content of this dish will depend largely on the side dish with which you serve it. The chicken fillet is very tender, juicy, soft, and it only takes a few minutes to fry it in a pan. But this dish turns out just as good in the oven. Let's look at the breaded chicken breast schnitzel recipe!

Chicken schnitzel with cheese in a frying pan

Kitchen appliances and utensils:

• plate;
• whisk;
• wooden spatula;
• grater;
• kitchen hammer;

• pan;
• egg bowl;
• bowl for flour;
• bowl for breadcrumbs (bowls can be replaced with deep plates).

Ingredients:

Let's start cooking

First stage

Second phase

1. Beat two eggs into a bowl and add a little water. Beat the eggs with a whisk until smooth.
   
   
2. Pour a glass of flour into the second bowl.
3. Pour crackers into the third.
   
   

   It is best to make crackers yourself from the crusts of white or black bread. Lightly dried crusts should be placed in the freezer for about twenty minutes, then grated on a coarse grater. If you don’t want to bother with this at all, then store-bought breadcrumbs will do.

4. We put the frying pan on high heat, fill its bottom with vegetable oil (do not skimp on the oil, pour it thoroughly, but not so that it covers the top of the schnitzels).
   
   
5. First roll each piece in wheat flour, then dip in beaten egg. Raise it above the bowl and let the excess drip off, after which we place the schnitzel in breadcrumbs. At this stage, it would be appropriate to press the fillet into the breadcrumbs so that they fill the entire surface of the meat.
   
   
   

   If you want to cook schnitzel with a large volume of batter, then this entire step can be repeated again (in flour, in egg, in breadcrumbs).

6. Reduce the heat to medium and place the schnitzels on a hot frying pan.
   
   
7. How long to fry chicken schnitzel? The frying time depends solely on the thickness of the chicken fillet you get. Try to focus on the golden crust that should appear. The schnitzel does not need to be turned from one side to the other. Fry for several minutes until a golden crust appears on one side and only then turn it over to the other, where we achieve the same result.
   
   

Third stage

So our delicious, and most importantly, quickly prepared dish is ready. Serve chicken schnitzel with vegetable salads, fried or mashed potatoes, and cereals such as rice or buckwheat.

It is also worth noting that the impressive sized schnitzel can be served as a separate dish, slightly garnished with herbs and sprinkled with lemon juice. To do this, take a whole chicken breast and cut it into two parts, not four.
