HäHNCHEN SCHNITZEL (GERMAN PAN FRIED BREADED CHICKEN CUTLETS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Beat eggs in a shallow bowl with garlic, parsley, salt and pepper. In a separate shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs (I pulse the bread slices in the food processor to get nice fresh crumbs) and parmesan cheese. Place chicken cutlets between two sheets of waxed paper and beat as thinly as possible with a meat mallet. Dip each cutlet into egg mixture to coat completely, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture, patting it on to help it stick. For each 2 cutlets, heat 2 tbsp oil in a large non-stick skillet over med-high heat. Cook 2 cutlets at a time until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked chicken cutlets to an oven-proof platter or pan, and keep warm in the oven while cooking the remaining cutlets and making the sauce. Wipe the skillet clean with paper towels. Heat butter until melted and add wine. Heat 30 seconds and stir in broth and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer 2 minutes. Pour broth mixture over cutlets and serve. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.

GERMAN CHICKEN RECIPES: FRICASSEE RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Soup: - wash the chicken, dry it and put it a pan that is big enough for 2-3 liter liquid - add 2 liter cold water and bring it to a boil. - cut celery root in cubes, cut carrots in 2-3 pieces. - add the celery, the root, carrots, bay leaves to the broth. - cut the onion in 2 pieces, in every piece stick a clove, add it to the soup. - let it simmer for 1-2 hours or until chicken meat is tender. Fricassee: - take the cooked chicken out of the broth, drain it through a a sieve. Keep 1 liter for the fricassee. - Remove all the nice looking meat from the bones (don't use the skin, or dark brown pieces); cut bigger pieces into smaller pieces. - Drain mushrooms and asparagus. If you use frozen asparagus break the frozen asparagus in small pieces. - Add butter in an extra pan and on reduced heat, mix in the flour while stirring until the flour has a golden yellow color. The butter should not become brown. - Very slowly add the chicken broth, first a little bit, then more and more while whisking it. You want to avoid clumping. - Let it simmer for 10 minutes on low heat while stirring frequently. - Add chicken meat, asparagus, peas and mushrooms to the sauce. - Now add the yolk into the milk, and mix it carefully into the fricassee mix. Important: The sauce should not be boiling hot. Let it cool off a bit before adding the yolk/milk mix, and don't bring it to a boil again. - Squeeze the lemon and and add the juice to the sauce. Spice it with salt and pepper and nutmeg to taste. You can also add additional lemon juice if you think it needs more. You should taste the juice a bit.

GERMAN CHICKEN, HAM, AND CHEESE ROULADES

Steps:

• Place each chicken breast between sheets of plastic wrap and pound it lightly with the flat side of a cleaver or a wooden mallet until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Trim the slices of ham and cheese so that they are the same size as the flattened pieces of chicken. Place a slice of ham on each piece of chicken and cover the ham with a slice of cheese. Season with the finely chopped garlic, thyme, marjoram, or sage and white pepper. Roll up the pieces tightly and fasten with wooden picks, or tie securely with string.
• Arrange the roulades in a greased baking sheet just large enough to hold them comfortably in one layer and pour the wine and broth over them. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 35 to 40 minutes or until the chicken is tender.
• Transfer the roulades to a platter and cool to room temperature, then cover and chill. Remove the wooden picks or string. Slice the roulades crosswise into rounds and arrange on a chilled serving platter. Garnish with watercress or parsley sprigs and serve. Makes about 20.
• VARIATION: In a medium sized, heavy skillet melt 2 Tablespoons Clarified Butter, or heat a mixture of 1 tablespoon each butter and flavorless vegetable oil or olive oil over moderate. Add the roulades and sauté, turning to brown lightly on all sides. Add the wine and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer about 30 minutes or until the chicken is tender. Cool, chill, slice, and serve as directed above.

MOM'S VEGETABLE SOUP WITH CHICKEN OR BEEF(GERMAN GEMUSE SUPPE)

• Meanwhile add sliced carrots, leek, chopped celery with leaves, chicken bouillon cubes and pepper (do not add salt). Bring to a boil; cover and simmer 5 to 10 minutes.

• VARIATIONS: May add about 6 oz. frozen peas at same time as cauliflower (increase cooking time by about 5 minutes to compensate for the cold peas). I also sometimes add a cup or two of fresh sliced zucchini and/or green beans a few minutes after adding the cauliflower. Also good with sliced hot dogs or kielbasa sausage added during the last 5 minutes or so of cooking time (enough time to heat through).

• The best celeriac is that of medium size, without secondary corms, and with a modest clump of leaves.
• Peel celeriac before using.
• Parsley root is grown specifically for large roots.
