Kinderschnitzel Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Schnitzel

    Flatten the pork loin or chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap using a meat mallet until about 1/2 inch thick.

  2. 2

    Season the Meat

    Season both sides of the flattened meat with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Set Up Breading Station

    Set up a three-step breading station: Place flour in one shallow dish, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs in the third.

  4. 4

    Bread the Schnitzel

    Dredge each piece of meat in flour, shaking off excess, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. 5

    Fry the Schnitzel

    In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Fry each schnitzel for about 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the schnitzel hot with lemon wedges and garnish with fresh parsley.
