About Chicken schnitzel

Chicken schnitzel is a popular dish of European origin, particularly associated with Austrian and German cuisine. It consists of a thin chicken breast fillet, pounded flat, and coated in a breadcrumb mixture after being dipped in flour and beaten eggs. The coated chicken is then fried until golden and crispy. Traditional schnitzel is often seasoned with basic spices and served with accompaniments like lemon wedges, potato salad, or vegetables. In terms of nutrition, chicken schnitzel is high in protein due to the lean chicken, but its calorie content and fat levels can vary depending on the frying method and amount of oil absorbed during cooking. Baking or air frying can provide a healthier alternative. The dish is popular for its satisfying crunch and savory flavor, making it a comfort food favorite in many households.
