Stuffed Schnitzel (Aka Chicken Kiev) image

My husband used to buy this from a local Yemenite restaurant until one day he asked me to give it a try and--bullseye! Saucy, savory and it can be re-heated.

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 chicken breasts, flattened
1 egg, beaten (for breading)
1 cup white flour (for breading)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
oil (for frying)
1/2 kg ground beef
3 tablespoons dried cilantro (spice)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, finely diced
1 head garlic, minced
1 -2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon white flour
2 tablespoons chicken soup powder

Steps:

  • For the stuffing:.
  • Sauté the diced onion.
  • When onion is translucent, add the ground meat and mix so the meat doesn't clump.
  • When meat is almost cooked, add the minced garlic and sauté until everything is well mixed and cooked.
  • Add the cumin and cilantro 1/2 tsp salt and mix well, then remove from burner.
  • For breading mixture:.
  • Mix 1 c flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in plate.
  • To assemble:.
  • Lay a breast flat on a plate and pile as much of the stuffing as you can in the center of it.
  • Fold up the ends and fasten with toothpicks.
  • Roll in the beaten egg and then in the breading mixture.
  • Deep fry in oil on all sides until browned.
  • Transfer to a plate and wait until it cools slightly before removing the toothpicks.
  • For the sauce:.
  • Once all of the schnitzels have been stuffed, there should still be about 1/3-1/2 of the stuffing left over. Put this in a small sauce pan with 1 c water and add the chicken soup mix.
  • Bring to a boil, then lower flame and add the 1 Tbsp flour.
  • Stir until the sauce has thickened--this should happen pretty quickly.
  • Pour the sauce over the toothpick-less schnitzels and serve.
