Grandma's Secret Wiener Schnitzel Recipe

Recipe #11200 | 20 min | 10 min prep | add private note

By: Axel
Aug 29, 2001

Grandma keeps her Wiener schnitzel recipe a closely guarded secret. Unfortunately for her, it's not that hard to figure out. Anyway, it's a really easy and delicious way to prepare chicken or turkey breasts, or even the traditional veal. My husband demands I make it more than I can stand eating it.

very good. I ran out of breadcrumbs- so I used Panko instead. Also added garlic powder to the crumbs. My entire family loved it. Thank you

    Good and easy too. I made this using pork loin chops and dredged in wheat flour seasoned with paprika before dredging in the breadcrumbs. Served it with steamed green beans. I think next time I'll whip up some mashed potatoes and gravy to go with it too. DH is out of town right now, but I think he'll like this even more than I did.

    I never thought of adding lemon juice to my schnitzel recipes, but I tried this and it was really good. The only change I made to the recipe was to add lots of Hungarian paprika to the breadcrumbs.
