Maureen Clancy, the author of this story, developed an easier and lighter version of Wiener schnitzel after her two college-aged sons discovered the dish on a trip abroad. Serve with a tossed salad of mixed greens, cherry tomatoes, sliced cucumber, and onion. Ingredients:
4 (6-ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 large egg, lightly beaten |
1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs |
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh parmesan cheese |
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh parsley |
2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
4 lemon wedges (optional) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
3. Place flour in a shallow bowl. Combine mustard and egg in a shallow dish. Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, parsley, chives, and garlic in a shallow dish. Dredge 1 chicken breast half in flour, turning to coat; shake off excess flour. Dip in egg mixture; dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Repeat procedure with remaining chicken, flour, egg mixture, and breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat oil in a large ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken; sauté 2 1/2 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat. Turn chicken over; place pan in oven. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until chicken is done. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
