Equipment
- meat tenderizer/mallet
Ingredients
- 1- 1 ½ pounds veal, pork, or chicken
- 1 cup flour
- 2 whole eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1+ cup oil with high smoke point (avocado)
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- If you are using chicken breast, cut the pieces in half horizontally. Try to make them evenly thick. Skip this step if you are using veal or pork cutlets.
- Using a meat tenderizer/mallet, pound the pieces of meat from both sides to an even ¼” thickness. Season your meat on both sides with salt and pepper, if you like.
- Gather 3 shallow bowls big enough to lay the pieces of meat in them. Put the flour in one, the beaten egg in the second, and the breadcrumbs in the third.
- Working one piece at a time, dredge the meat first in the flour (shaking off any excess), then in the eggs, and then in the breadcrumbs. Set aside. Repeat with remaining pieces.
- Preheat a pan or skillet. Add enough oil that you have about ¼” in the pan or skillet.
- Working in batches if necessary, fry the schnitzels in the hot oil until golden brown on one side. Flip and fry on the second side until golden-brown.
