How To Make chicken, veal or pork schnitzel
-
Step 1If using the chicken, butterfly each breast and place between wax paper. For pork, place chops several inches apart between wax paper. For veal, if you have large, thin-cut pieces, use as is. If the veal is more than 1/4 inch thick, place between wax paper. Pound the meat until very thin.
-
Step 2Season the meat with salt and pepper and dust in the flour.
-
Step 3Beat the eggs and milk or cream in a large shallow dish.
-
Step 4Combine the bread crumbs with the nutmeg and more salt and pepper and place on a large plate.
-
Step 5Coat the meat in egg, then in crumbs.
-
Step 6Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium to med-high heat with just enough oil in it to thinly coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil gets wavy looking, add the meat in a single layer and cook until golden on each side, about 3 minutes each. Transfer meat to a plate and repeat, if necessary.

Step 7Serve the schnitzels with lemon wedges.
