Let's start with the fact that schnitzel is a universal dish. Once upon a time in Austria, Viennese schnitzel was made from any type of meat: chicken fillet, 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 family or guests at the festive table. The calorie content of this dish will depend largely on the side dish with which you serve it. Chicken fillet is very tender, juicy, soft, and it only takes a few minutes to fry it in a pan. But even in the oven, this dish turns out no worse. Let's take a look at the recipe for breaded chicken breast schnitzel!

Chicken schnitzel with cheese in a pan

Kitchen appliances and utensils:

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

• pan;
• egg bowl;
• a bowl for flour;
• a bowl for bread crumbs (bowls can be replaced with deep bowls).

Ingredients:

Let's start cooking

First step

1. The first step is to tackle the chicken breast. You need to thoroughly rinse the breast under warm water, then remove the skin from it and carefully cut the fillets from the bone. Divide the chicken breast into four equal parts visually, and then try to cut it like this.
   
   
2. Based on the previous stage, our pieces turned out to be quite thick, we will now fix this. Place a piece of fillet on a cutting board and cut it open, then open it like a little book. This simple manipulation is one of the main secrets of fast frying and preserving the juiciness of chicken breast.
   
   
3. This "little book", before beating off with a kitchen hammer, is best flattened with some kind of kitchen container (preferably clean), or just with the palm of your hand.
4. We take a kitchen hammer and soundly beat off our "little books" from fillets. Before this procedure, you can wrap the fillet pieces in plastic wrap. Many recommend doing it this way, but this point is completely optional, it will not affect the taste of the schnitzel in any way.
   
   
5. Salt and pepper each broken piece on both sides and leave to soak.
   
   

Second phase

1. Drive two eggs into a bowl and add a little water. Beat the eggs with a whisk until smooth.
   
   
2. Pour crackers into the third.
   
   

   Crackers are best made yourself from crusts of white or black bread. Lightly dried crusts should be placed in the freezer for about twenty minutes and then grated on a coarse grater. If you don't want to mess around with this at all, then purchased bread crumbs will do.

3. We put the pan on high heat, fill its bottom with vegetable oil (do not spare the oil, pour it soundly, but not so that it covers the schnitzel with the top).
   
   
4. Dip each piece first in wheat flour, then dip in a beaten egg. Raise it over the bowl and let the excess drain, after which we send the schnitzel to the bread crumbs. At this stage, it will be appropriate to press the fillets into the crackers 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 stage can be repeated again (into flour, into an egg, into crackers).

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

Third stage

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

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

First step

1. Wash the chicken breast under running warm water, remove the skin from it. We spread the breast on a cutting board and cut off the fillet from it, dividing it into four equal parts.
   
   
2. We cut the chicken fillet across, but not completely. We stop the incision, slightly not reaching the end, after which we open our fillet, like a little book.
3. We beat off the fillet with a kitchen hammer. Rub each broken piece with salt and pepper on both sides and leave to soak.
   
   
4. Drive two eggs into the first bowl and add quite a bit of water so that it makes the mass a little thinner. Beat the eggs with a whisk until smooth.
   
   
5. Pour a glass of flour into the second bowl.
6. In the third, bread crumbs.

Second phase

1. Time to turn on the oven for heating. We expose 180 degrees.
2. Each piece of chicken fillet must be thoroughly rolled in flour, then dipped in a container with beaten eggs, then we raise the fillet over a bowl of eggs and let all the excess drain.
   
   
3. After the eggs, roll our fillets in breadcrumbs. Press the future schnitzel well into crackers, the crumb should tightly cover the entire surface. If you want to get a crisper and voluminous crust from the schnitzel, then this entire stage can be repeated again.
   
   
4. We spread the fillet pieces on a refractory mold, having previously covered it with foil or baking paper.
   
   
5. Rub hard cheese on top. It is advisable to cover the entire surface of the schnitzel, after baking the cheese there will be not so much as it seemed at the very beginning, so do not regret it.
   
   
6. We spread 3-4 cubes of butter on the surface of each schnitzel.
7. We send our baking dish to an already preheated oven for 15-20 minutes.
   
   
8. Put the finished schnitzels on a dish covered with paper napkins. They will absorb all the fat and externally the schnitzel will consist only of crispy crust and fragrant stretching cheese.
9. We invite everyone to the table!
   
   

Properly cooked schnitzel in the oven retains the juiciness and tenderness of the chicken fillet. Serve the schnitzel hot, do not wait until the cheese hardens and hardens.

Delicious schnitzel in bread crumbs can be made from poultry. The advantage of chicken breast is that it is great as a hearty meal for both adults and young children, as well as for athletes and people who follow a healthy diet.

This dish is fried in a pan or baked in the oven. It turns out to be crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. In the article, we will look at how to cook breaded chicken schnitzel step by step, we will tell you how to properly prepare the ingredients and how to serve the food on the table.

Preparation of ingredients

To prepare juicy schnitzels, you must use chicken fillet. It is better if it is chilled, but cooking from frozen meat is also allowed. In this case, the chicken must first be thawed until completely thawed, and the process must take place exclusively in a natural way. For this, the breast is placed in a bowl and left for several hours at room temperature.

If time permits, you can put the chicken in the refrigerator to defrost more evenly. Under no circumstances should the defrosting procedure be accelerated with a microwave oven or hot water. You can only put a bowl of fillets under a thin stream of cold water - it will help defrost the product faster without deteriorating its quality.

Immediately before use, the breast should be thoroughly rinsed and discarded in a colander to drain excess moisture. Next, the chicken needs to be cleaned, skinned and cartilage removed. Then the fillet is cut into small layers about a centimeter thick. In some supermarkets you can buy ready-made semi-finished products for making schnitzels.

An important ingredient in the recipe is bread crumbs. They can be bought ready-made or made at home. In stores, you can find classic croutons or with a variety of additives in the form of spices. For homemade breading, you will need a loaf of white bread. It needs to be cut into small cubes, distributed over a baking sheet and sent to a preheated oven. Once the pieces are golden brown, you can remove the baking sheet from the oven and cool the bread. Next, the croutons are sent to the blender bowl and crushed or passed through a meat grinder. The breading is ready.

If time is short, you can make express crackers. A loaf of bread is broken by hand into several small pieces, which are alternately chopped in a blender. The resulting mass is perfect for breading, and the schnitzels will turn out to be a beautiful, golden hue.

To obtain a dish with a rich taste, it is recommended pre-marinate the chicken pieces. In a small bowl, salt, pepper and nutmeg are mixed. A pressed clove of garlic is added to the spices and the components are mixed. Grate each schnitzel with the resulting dressing and leave for half an hour.

This marinade can be applied to any of the recipes below.

Cooking recipes

Breaded schnitzels can be cooked both in a skillet and in the oven. In the second case, the calorie content of the dish will be much lower, so it is recommended for people who follow a diet or the principles of proper nutrition.

With cheese

Preparation:

This dish is made in two stages. First of all, the prepared fillet should be divided into several parts and beaten off. Distribute flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs into three bowls.

Then put each piece on a baking sheet, sprinkle with grated cheese and send to cook in the oven for 20 minutes, setting the heat level to 180 degrees.
