Crispy Chicken Schnitzel + Blue Cheese Crunch Salad

Описание: One of my favorite meals growing up—crispy chicken cutlets, seasoned with garlic and parsley (because Eastern European moms always season well). I serve it with a crunchy salad and creamy blue cheese dressing. Hot, crispy, cool, crunchy—the perfect bite.

Start with 4 chicken breasts, sliced in half lengthwise and pounded thin. Mix 4 garlic cloves (minced), a handful of parsley (minced), salt, pepper, and a splash of water into a paste. Rub it all over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (or up to 12 hours).

Set up your dredging station:
– Flour, seasoned with salt + pepper
– 2 eggs, beaten with salt + pepper
– 2/3 cup panko + 2/3 cup regular breadcrumbs, mixed with salt, pepper, and parsley

Dredge chicken in flour, dip in eggs, coat in breadcrumbs. Fry in a hot skillet with oil, about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.

For the salad: toss romaine, cucumber, red onion, scallion, cherry tomatoes, and thinly sliced red cabbage.

The dressing? Stir together:
1/2 cup mayo, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2-3 tablespoons heavy cream (for that perfect consistency), 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese (or more to taste), 2-3 garlic cloves (minced), juice of 1/2 lemon, splash of Worcestershire, parsley, salt + pepper.

Pile it all up—crispy schnitzel, crunchy salad, creamy dressing, squeeze of lemon. Dinner’s done.
