Chicken Schnitzel. Growing up, chicken schnitzel was a classic. I decided to make this dish oven-friendly using less oil, and an easier cleanup. This dish tastes great with potato salad, or mashed potatoes and a nice crisp salad.

It's also fairly quick and easy enough for a week night meal. This is a grandma recipe so you know it's going to be good. Make sure to serve with classic German sides like potato salad, sauerkraut and spaetzle. You can have Chicken Schnitzel using 8 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you achieve that.
