Chicken Schnitzel With Mustard Sauce Recipes

AMAZINGLY TASTY AND CRISPY CHICKEN SCHNITZEL

Steps:

• Whisk eggs, honey, Dijon mustard, soy sauce, and garlic together in a bowl. Mix bread crumbs, salt, and pepper together in a shallow bowl.
• 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.
• Working in batches, carefully place chicken in the hot oil using tongs and cook until no longer pink in the center and browned on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH MUSTARD CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Pat chicken dry with paper towel. Trim fat from chicken breasts. With a sharp knife, cut chicken breasts horizontally into 2 to 3 slices. If necessary, pound chicken slices to about 1/4-inch thick. Set aside.
• Whisk egg and milk in a wide shallow bowl; set aside. Combine flour, salt and pepper in a gallon Ziploc bag. Pour bread crumbs onto a dinner-size plate or piece of waxed paper. Set aside.
• Dredge chicken in flour mixture; dip in egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge chicken again in flour mixture. Dip chicken in egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off; coat with bread crumbs, pressing bread crumbs onto chicken. Place in single layers on waxed paper; refrigerate for at least one hour.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large over medium heat. Add several pieces of chicken; cook until golden brown on both sides, 5 to 6 minutes each side. Transfer to plate lined with paper towels and place in 200°F oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining chicken. Serve Chicken Schnitzel with Mustard Cream Sauce. Yield: 6 servings.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and pepper and continue to cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the sauce is thickened and reduced to about 1 1/2 cups, about 20 minutes. Yield: 1 1/2 cups.

CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH MUSHROOM SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove the chicken breasts from the bone. Slice each breast in half lengthwise. Put them between pieces of plastic wrap and pound them with a mallet or a small skillet until they are 1/4-inch thick.
• Set up a breading station with three pie plates or shallow dishes. Put the flour in one and season it with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, the eggs beaten with 2 tablespoons of water in another, and the breadcrumbs in the third. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, then the egg wash, then the breadcrumbs. Set aside. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken in 1 layer and cook until it is golden brown and crispy, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on brown paper and keep warm while you make the sauce.
• In another skillet over medium heat, add the butter. When it is melted, add mushrooms and season them with salt and pepper. Cook until they are browned, about 6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds then add the stock and simmer for 4 minutes and reduce by one third. Add the Worcestershire sauce, turn the heat off, and let cool for a minute before stirring in the sour cream. Serve the Schnitzel with the sauce poured over the top, garnished with parsley.

HONEY-MUSTARD CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or foil. Add the panko and oil to the sheet pan, season with 1/2 teaspoon salt, then stir with a fork until evenly moistened. Shake into an even layer. Toast in the oven, stirring with the fork halfway through, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Pick up the parchment and use it to funnel the toasted panko into a shallow bowl or pie plate. Set aside to cool. (Reserve the lined sheet pan.)
• In a medium bowl, stir together the honey and mustard. Pat the chicken dry, then pound with a mallet or heavy skillet into an even thickness (about ⅓-inch thick). Slice lengthwise into 1-inch-thick strips. Cut any long strips in half crosswise. (If using chicken tenders, no need to pound or slice.) Season with salt and pepper, then add to the honey mustard and toss to combine.
• Working with one strip at a time and removing dripping honey mustard, add the chicken to the panko mixture and use your fingers to pack the panko onto all sides of the chicken. (To avoid a big mess, designate one wet hand for touching the chicken and one dry hand for pressing in the panko.) Transfer to the lined sheet pan and repeat.
• Transfer to the oven and bake, removing from the oven to flip halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the panko is browned, 10 to 15 minutes.
