Schnitzel

A schnitzel is meat, thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried. Originating in Austria, it is popular in many countries and made using either veal, mutton, chicken, beef, turkey, reindeer, or pork. It is very similar to the French dish escalope. However, in Australia some may consider certain other processed chicken coated with breadcrumbs as chicken schnitzel as well.
