Shnitzel Recipe an Israeli Staple
Shnitzel or Schnitzel is what I learned to expect for lunch/dinner growing up as a kid in Israel. Schnitzel is made of chicken breast also known as tenders, rolled in bread crumbs and fried. It is actually a European dish Austria I think but it was warmly adopted in Israel. It really does tastes great - and pretty easy to prepare!
It goes well with rice, Israeli salad, in a pita with some hummus or just by itself with some lemon juice squeezed on top. Kids love it with ketchup.
Ingredients:
Makes enough for 4 people and then some
- 2 pounds (about 1 kg) chicken breast / chicken tenders
- 1 pack of bread crumbs
- 1 egg
- 1 cup olive oil or vegetable oil
- 1 cup soy sauce (if you are missing this item it will still come out ok)
How to make the Schnitzel
- Marinate the chicken breast in a bowl with the soy sauce for 2 hours in the fridge prior to the cooking
- Break the egg and add to the chicken stripes
- Pour the bread crumbs on a plate
- Roll each chicken breast piece in the bread crumbs until covered from all sides
- Fry the chicken pieces for about 5 minutes on each side or until they become golden brown in color see my picture
- Serve hot with ½ lemon or whatever sauce you like
There you go - if you ever wanted to find out how to cook chicken easily - the above recipe is one way to do so!
