I reduced the recipe to serve 2 and it reduces very well. The chicken cutlets were 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, which I placed between wax paper and pounded to 1/4 inch thickness. Next time, I will follow Hey Jude and cut them in half before preparing because 1 full breast was to much for 1 person. Instead of the fresh garlic I opted to use a dried garlic blend. To the egg, I added 1 tablespoon of water. The breadcrumbs were the perfect amount to thoroughly coat the chicken. After dipping the chicken in the breadcrumbs, I allowed them to rest for about 15 minutes. I have found this helps the coating to adhere better. The sauce--so simple yet so delicious. This is a simple weeknight meal or would be great to serve to guests. Something I will make again. Thanks so much for posting!

Delectable! I made this tonight for my daughter and her friend and they loved it. I didn't have white bread, only light rye, so used that to make the bread crumbs and I only used two chicken breasts. They were really big so I cut them in half horizontally and then flattened them. The sauce is wonderful. This is definitely going to be a regular for us. Thanks Nan for another great recipe from you

Very good! The only problem I had was getting the garlic to stick to the chicken when dipped in the egg mixture. Maybe I didn't beat the eggs up enough? I think I may add some garlic powder to the bread/cheese mixture next time. I served it with my grandmothers fried noodles and brussel sprouts. Definate keeper...Thanks for posting!

This was excellent. The chicken was so moist and tender. The only change I made was to use store bought bread crumbs instead of using home made. It was still delicious. I will be making this again for sure. Thanks

Wonderful!!! This chicken was so tasty and so tender!!! Total perfection!!! The only thing I did that was not included in the instructions was to pound them out and then I dipped them in flour before breading them!!! These were so good and such a wonderful dinner, everyone enjoyed them!!! Thanks PanNan!!!

YUM,YUM great recipe. I pounded the chicken to about 1/4 inch thick & cut them in half before dipping it into the egg and bread crumbs. The sauce is Delicious, I doubled the sauce recipe & thickend it with a little cornstarch. I will be making this again tasty & easy.

My husband and I loved this recipe. I had to use regular bread crumbs and I used a can of chicken broth, and thickend it slightly with corn starch, and it was a great sauce with the wine in it. A denifite keeper, Thanks for the recipe.

it was great but instead of puting the garlic with the eggs, i browned them in the butter before adding the wine, i also returned the chicken in the pan while the sauce was reducing, just a personal preferance because i like the chicken submerged in sauce. The Husband loved it.

Great schnitzel recipe. I didn't make the sauce and it was still very delicious. I did substitute ciabatta bread in place of white bread, though - it did make a positive difference with the final result. Also, I didn't wipe the pan clean between batches, and everything still came out perfect. I would think that if I were making the sauce, the browned bits at the bottom of the pan would add a lot of flavor. This was a wonderful dinner served with German Spaetzle and Cheese.

This is fantastic. My husband is German and he raved about this recipe. Use German breadcrumbs if you can find them (muschemeil) not sure of spelling. Sauce is great but not enough, use 1/2 cup wine and 1 can chicken broth (I thickened mine a little with cornstarch and water). After cooking chicken wipe out pan add a little more olive oil and saute red bell peppers for a few minutes. Adds color and flavor to your dish., then follow directions for sauce. I also added a little mild paprika (use German if you can find it). I served over spatzel noodles. AWESOME!
