Chicken schnitzel is a tender and aromatic dish of European cuisine that originated in Austria but has become popular worldwide. This golden, crispy schnitzel is made from chicken fillet that is carefully pounded to the perfect thickness, then dipped in a flavorful batter and coated with crunchy breadcrumbs. After frying in oil, it develops an appetizing crust while retaining juiciness and tenderness inside. Its taste is rich with subtle hints of spices and an airy texture. It pairs perfectly with potato sides, fresh vegetables, or light sauces that add depth to the flavor. Chicken schnitzel is a versatile dish suitable for both family dinners and festive gatherings.
