Schnitzel is a preparation that we all know and love, even if we don’t know it by name. Meat is pounded thin, lightly breaded, and fried to golden crunchy perfection. This essential technique also lays the groundwork for other classic dishes like chicken Parmesan, piccata, and chicken-fried steak.

Schnitzel is so surprisingly fast to prepare that you’ll likely find yourself making it any time the craving strikes.
