CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY SPRING HERB SALAD
New York Times, June 3, 2009 The hallmark of a perfect Wiener schnitzel, opined the epicure Joseph Wechsberg, is a slice of veal with breading "so dry you could sit on it without having a fat stain on your pants." I've clung to this image since I read it in Mr. Wechsberg's classic 1953 book, "Blue Trout and Black Truffles." Why anyone would ever sit on a schnitzel to test it in the first place wasn't clear, but I liked the notion of such a greaseless fried morsel of meat. Years later, an Austrian chef, Mario Lohninger, gave me a schnitzel lesson. (He and I worked on a cookbook together.) I thought I knew what was what. "They say you should be able to sit on a schnitzel without getting grease on your pants, right?" I said with authority. Mr. Lohninger raised an eyebrow. "Maybe they sit on schnitzel in Vienna," he said. "Where I come from we prefer a crisp, light schnitzel with a crust that rises like a soufflé." The secret, he said, is to trap air in the crust when you cook the meat by moving and shaking the pan. After dipping the veal in flour, egg and bread crumbs, he put a cutlet in the skillet, swirling it so the hot oil undulated over the cutlet in waves. This motion creates steam that lifts the crust away from the meat, allowing the bread crumbs to crisp without sticking to the veal in a gummy mass. Indeed, his schnitzel was a golden, gorgeous thing, with a puffy crust that shattered at the touch of a fork, and tender meat within. He served it with cucumber salad and lingonberry jam. Years went by, but when my next schnitzel craving hit, it hit hard. I wanted crumby, crisp, fried meat for dinner, and would not be denied. What I didn't want, however, was factory farm veal. I know there is humanely raised veal available in New York, but not at my local market. I chose cutlets of free-range chicken instead. Because the cutlets were not quite one-eighth-inch thick - the proper thickness for schnitzel, according to Mr. Lohninger - I pounded them a little with a rolling pin. Then, without handling them too much, I gently dipped them in flour, egg and bread crumbs. When they were all nicely coated, I dropped a cutlet in hot oil, swirling the pan as instructed. The meat puffed slightly and browned beautifully. The chicken was soft and savory (thanks to a pinch of cayenne and nutmeg) beneath the ultra-crisp crust. I served it with a bright herb-laden salad. The schnitzel passed Mr. Lohninger's soufflé test easily, and you don't have to sit on any cutlets - unless you're into that.

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.

CRISP CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH LEMONY HERB SALAD
This schnitzel is light and crunchy with a crust that rises like a soufflé. The secret is to trap air in the crust when you cook the meat by moving and shaking the pan (Ms. Clark demonstrates with pork in this video.) You can use this technique with a variety of meat cutlets.

- Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the butter and cook over moderately high heat until browned and nutty, about 4 minutes. Stir in the capers, lemon juice and parsley; spoon over the chicken and serve.
NITKO'S CHICKEN SCHNITZEL WITH SAGE, ROSEMARY AND GARLIC
This is meal I made yesterday having nothing but chicken fillets at home (all other is always somewhere). I did not have much time so I have marinated schnitzels for just 30 minutes; it should be more, but anyway, there were nice. Serve with "rizi-bizi" (see on Zaar). This is how it goes:

Steps:
- You should get three nice schnitzels out of 150 g chicken breasts. Beat them into thin schnitzels. Season them with salt and pepper.
- Put them into a plate, pour over olive oil and lemon juice. Cut garlic into 5 pieces, cut rosemary leaves and sage leave (do it (sage and rosemary) with hand not knife). Mix all ingredients and leave to marinate up to 3 hours.
- Heat the pan (best Teflon one). Remove schnitzels from marinade and save the marinade.
- Fry schnitzels until gold (you can pour some of the olive oil from marinade on schnitzels while frying), remove them and pour what is left from marinade into the pan (including garlic, rosemary and sage).
- Fry garlic just 1 minute, add flour, stir and add water.
- Deglaze meat juices until water evaporates to half and pour over schnitzels and rizi-bizi or rice; or whatever you are serving with.

- Put the chicken (one piece at a time) in a large ziptop bag and seal. Using a mullet or the back of a heavy cast iron skillet, pound the chicken. The chicken pieces should be large and quite thin (about 1/8-inch in thickness or so) by the time you’re done pounding.
- Season the chicken with kosher salt and black pepper on both sides. In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, paprika and oregano then sprinkle the mixture on both sides of the chicken.
- Preparing a dredging station. Put the flour in one bowl. Beat the eggs in another bowl and place it next to the flour. And put the panko in a third bowl next to the eggs.
- Take one piece of chicken, and place it in the flour bowl. Coat the chicken on both sides with the flour and shake off excess. Then dip the chicken in the egg bowl. Finally coat the chicken with the panko bread crumbs on both sides. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
