Chicken Schnitzel

Thin and crisp chicken filets with a hint of dijon mustard. A must try.

We eat chicken a lot. But my biggest issue with chicken is finding new recipes to make. Most of the time it gets marinated and tossed on the grill, used for pizza, all kinds of slow cooker meals or in tacos. But beyond that I get stumped for ideas pretty easily. Don’t get me wrong, I’m totally okay eating chicken breast dipped in barbecue sauce or coated in spices but that can get old fast. I know there are tons of options I’m not utilizing like say added to pasta.

Last night I did what most reasonable people would do, I searched for new ideas. Low and behold… the internet was full of them. Shocker. But one jumped out at me. It called to me. It made me giggle. Schnitzel. Say it. Schnitzel. So yes… today’s recipe was partially, okay mostly, made because of the name. So I could say it and giggle. It’s fun.

Secondly, it calls for mustard. This is basically like a grown up inside out chicken finger because if I’m not dipping my chicken fingers in ketchup then I’m dipping them in mustard. If you’re having a rough day, this the perfect recipe because you get to pound out your frustrations. Boss made you mad? Someone cut you off on your drive? Forgot to dvr Ryan Gosling on GMA? Take out your frustrations on the chicken.

This chicken schnitzel recipe is not only easy and tasty but also quick! You can have dinner on the table in easily under 30 minutes, with spare time to whip up a side dish or two.
