Best Chicken Schnitzel With Romaine Currant Salad Recipes

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH SAUTEED APPLES AND ESCAROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
• In a shallow dish, beat the eggs. Spread the flour and panko in 2 separate shallow dishes. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Dredge each cutlet in the flour, then dip in the egg, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Dredge in the panko, pressing lightly to help it adhere; transfer to a plate.
• In a large skillet, heat ¼ inch of canola oil until shimmering. In batches if necessary, fry the cutlets in a single layer over medium-high heat, flipping once, until golden and cooked through, about 6 minutes total. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet to drain, then transfer to the oven to keep warm.
• In another large skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the apple and onion and season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned and the apple is almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add the escarole and cook, stirring, until just starting to wilt, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with the cutlets.

• For the chicken: Pour the buttermilk and hot sauce over the chicken in a shallow dish. Let sit for 15 minutes.

• For the dredge: Add the flour, pepper, smoked paprika, celery salt, kosher salt, garlic powder, onion powder and thyme to a very large bowl or shallow dish. Add the marinated chicken pieces, one by one, and pat the dredge onto the chicken, creating little crackles in the chicken piece.
• Shake off any excess dredge and add the chicken to the fryer. Fry in batches, turning occasionally, until just slightly golden and it has an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oil and let rest on the wire rack until just cool to touch. Add back to the fryer and double-fry until super golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain again on the wire rack.
• Dip the fried chicken in the chile oil and add to a shallow dish. Dust each piece with the shake thoroughly until no oil is apparent on both sides.

• Heat 1/2 to 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). You can also use a deep fryer.
• Put chicken slices in the egg mixture and knead until fully coated. Press chicken in the bread crumbs until evenly coated.

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD

Steps:

• Mince anchovies and garlic and mix with a large pinch of salt until you get a rough paste. Put it in bowl and whisk in the lemon zest, juice and another pinch of salt and some pepper. Slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
• Place eggs in one shallow dish, bread crumbs in another, and flour mixed with cayenne and nutmeg in a third. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
• Heat 1/8 inch oil in a large skillet. While oil heats, dip cutlets one by one into flour (shake off any excess), then into eggs (ditto) and finally into the bread crumbs, taking care not to handle chicken more than necessary (hold meat by ends).
• When oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is thrown in, add a chicken cutlet (or two if your skillet is large, leave plenty of room around them). Swirl pan so oil cascades over top of cutlet in waves. When bottom is golden brown, about 3 minutes, flip and brown the other side, swirling pan (swirling helps create air pockets, giving you lighter schnitzel). Transfer to a paper-towel-lined baking platter or baking tray and sprinkle with more salt. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Toss salad greens and herbs with just enough anchovy-lemon dressing to lightly coat them. Divide salad on serving plates and top with schnitzel. Drizzle with more dressing and garnish with scallions.
