Juicy Schnitzel
2 servings
45 minutes
Juicy schnitzel is a classic of European cuisine that incorporates the traditions of Austrian and German chefs. The airy breading, crispy golden crust, and tender chicken fillet inside create a flavor combination that leaves no one indifferent. Its history traces back to Viennese culinary practices where meat was pounded to perfect tenderness, coated in flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs, then fried to perfection. This schnitzel is served with refreshing sides—French fries and crispy vegetables—to balance its rich taste. It is a versatile dish suitable for both family dinners and festive gatherings. Aromatic with light spice notes, it offers true pleasure to anyone who tries it.
