Wiener Schnitzel

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Mashed Potatoes or Rice

House Salad

Method

Wiener Schnitzel

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Pound the chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet. This helps ensure even cooking.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour mixed with salt and pepper in one, beat the eggs in the second, and place breadcrumbs in the third.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then coat in breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere well.

  4. 4

    Pan-Fry the Schnitzels

    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.

Creamy Mushroom Sauce

  1. 5

    Cook the Mushrooms

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté until browned, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 6

    Add Garlic

    Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

  3. 7

    Make the Sauce

    Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Let simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.

  4. 8

    Season the Sauce

    Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside until ready to serve.

Mashed Potatoes

  1. 9

    Boil the Potatoes

    Place the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  2. 10

    Mash the Potatoes

    Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper. Mash until creamy and smooth.

House Salad

  1. 11

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber.

  2. 12

    Make the Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper.

  3. 13

    Toss the Salad

    Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
