Schnitzel Recipe

Cooking Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Meat

   Place the pork loin or chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/4 inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Meat

   Coat each piece of meat in flour, shaking off the excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

4. 4

   Heat the Oil

   In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.

5. 5

   Fry the Schnitzels

   Carefully place the breaded schnitzels in the hot oil, cooking in batches if necessary. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Drain and Serve

   Remove the schnitzels from the skillet and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with lemon wedges and your choice of side.
