1 kg chicken breasts
4 large eggs
2 cup flour
2 cup bread crumbs(krummies etc)
Directions
All MEASUREMENTS and CURRENCY mentioned below in in METRIC and
Australian currency. In 1 kg you usually get 3 breasts so cut them in
half as described below and 2 halfs usually make a filling meal.Costs
about $10 to serve a family since adult can have 2 halfs with mashed
potato and mini carrots etc and children can have 1. This is my first
Recipe so here goes.
Cut Chicken Breasts down the middle into 2 parts. Use Spiked Mallet
to beat chicken till its a mit thinner so it cooks better.Also trim
any skin or get skinless breasts to reduce amount of calories.
Get 3 plates.On the first plate sift flour on to plate. On second
plate,beat eggs and pour onto a deep plate. On third put the bread
crumbs on it.
Dip or cover breasts in flour.Shake off excess.Coat breast with egg
either by brushing on or dipping on plate.Then cover in bread crumbs
and put on plate.
On this is done you are ready to cook them.Now I usually cook mine so
that the bread crumbs brown but dont get burnt so the schnitzel is
very soft.Since I'm not an experienced cook but have to do the
cooking for the family (Im 15) I dont know if Im undercooking them or
what but they taste best that way.Just cook them and when the look
cooked cut in half and if the meat is white(like chicken sould look
not the colour of an uncooked fillet) they are cooked.I cook on
medium heat in a frypan with some oil. Serving Suggestions: In the
Colder months this meal is best served with Mashed potato and gravy
as well as carrots and any other vegetables you like.
In the Warm months my very favourite is a Schnitzel Burger. I put the
lettuce on the bottom,Beetroot next,then the scnitzel,then a thin
pineapple ring,and mayo.Excellent in summer months.2 of these make a
filling and tasty meal.
Well there you go.And comments and critisism would be appreciated.
CYA!

The History of Recipes
Recipes as a concept can be found far back into distant history, at least as far as ancient Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Interesting though that is, in the main part, these early recipes were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the oldest recipe discovered, according to food historians is a collection of stone tablets in Sumerian which describe the preparation of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making drinkers feel `wonderful`. Continuing our culinary historical journey, we find a couple of interesting books which appeared in the fourteenth century - a book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another titled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are somewhat misleading tho`, they have no connection with the curry that is served today, but instead descriptions of the types of food cooked for the nobility of the period. Later on, in the 15th century, people returning from the crusades brought back many foods and herbs from the holy lands, including spices like coriander, parsley, and basil. These new foods and tastes was responsible for an outbreak in manuscripts on cooking, the majority of which are kept safe in private collections. Over the succeeding few centuries, the powerful and wealthy competed with each other to serve up the most exotic meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes could command a high salary. However, it was during the 1800s that cooking and cookery books became popular. The Famous Mrs Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the USA, dedicated their lives to collecting, testing, and writing down the recipes of their peers. The TV revolution gave us cooking programs and the recipe books that accompanied them. And that brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, allowing us all to search through thousands of recipes such as those found on this recipe site. |
