Ingredients

• 4 pieces veal cutlets
• 0.5 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large egg whites
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 cup whole grain breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 as needed cooking spray
• 4 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Place each veal cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound each cutlet to a uniform thickness of about 1/4 inch.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, mix together the whole wheat flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk the egg whites and water together until slightly frothy.

Step 4

In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese.

Step 5

Dredge each veal cutlet in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Step 6

Next, dip the cutlet into the egg white mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 7

Finally, coat the cutlet in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs to the meat.

Step 8

Preheat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Lightly coat the skillet with cooking spray.

Step 9

Working in batches if necessary, place the breaded veal cutlets in the skillet. Cook for 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked veal to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve the schnitzels with lemon wedges and a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Enjoy immediately.
