Oh how I love breaded foods…luckily so does my husband who will never say no to chicken nuggets and that’s why he gets excited when I make Chicken Schnitzel because it’s basically like a giant chicken nugget! <br /> <br />I spent 15 years of my life in Germany and grew up eating traditional German dishes. My mom is an excellent home cook but what I appreciate most about her cooking is that she takes on dishes and makes them her own…I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! Schnitzel is meat, thinned with a meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried. I like all kinds of Schnitzel from Wiener Schnitzel which is veal to Schweine Schnitzel which is pork but at home I only make it with chicken breasts, organic chicken breasts. <br /> <br />Since it’s a breaded dish, I try to pair my Schnitzel with a lighter side dish like this German cucumber salad. It’s inspired by my grandpa who used to make this for us after tennis practice. This salad is the reason why I love dill… or anything creamy with dill…yum!
