Chicken schnitzel is a popular dish that originated in Central European cuisine, specifically Austria, where it is closely related to the traditional Viennese schnitzel. This dish consists of chicken breast that is pounded thin, coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs, then shallow-fried until golden and crispy. The preparation creates a satisfying crunch, balanced by the tender and juicy meat inside. While chicken schnitzel is high in protein, the frying process adds saturated fats, making moderation key for a balanced diet. For a healthier version, it can be baked or air-fried to reduce oil content. Often served with sides such as salads, potatoes, or lemon wedges, it offers opportunities to pair it with nutrient-rich choices. Chicken schnitzel combines simple ingredients with bold, comforting flavors, making it a versatile and cherished dish in many cuisines worldwide.
