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.

This is also very very good with pork medallions. Thats the way my family has always done it. Great recipe!

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

This recipe was really easy, the only change i made was adding about a 1/4 cup of shredded parmesan cheese to the bread crumb mixture. It was delicious!

My Grandmother used to make schnitzel with pork or veal. But she dredged it in flour before dipping the meat in the egg and breadcrumbs. When schnitzel is cooked you should be able to insert a knife between the veal and breading.

Love the lemon & Parsley I used a tenderized chicken cutlet. I cut back on the oil in the skillet and double dipped & breaded the schnitzel pressing in the bread crumbs to make sure they adhered Served with buttered noodles, steamed baby carrot & fresh steamed green beans. great meal. This is a simple straight forward recipes that gives you a very good schnitzel thanks Axel for sharing grannie's secret

I made this tonight for my family and another family, I used boneless skinless chicken thighs it was really good. Only kind of bland. Next time I will season the chicken a couple hours before cooking. Thanks Axel Karen

I make this very close to what you have except with a pork loin cut thin. I pound it and add the lemon juice and let it set for about two hours. I make a grat mushroom gravy to go with it, mashed potatoes and red cabbage with apples. It is great!!!
