Tender chicken breast schnitzel under vegetables with cheese and olives is a true delight for Italian cuisine lovers. This dish combines the juiciness of chicken meat, the sweetness of sautéed vegetables, and the spiciness of olives, creating a harmony of flavors and aromas. A light flour crust preserves the tenderness of the breast, while a layer of mayonnaise adds softness. Baked cheese creates an appetizing golden crust, and fresh bell peppers and tomatoes add brightness and freshness. The origins of this dish trace back to Mediterranean culinary traditions where simple ingredients are transformed into exquisite gastronomic masterpieces. Such schnitzel can be served with a light salad and a glass of white wine, enjoying every bite.
