SCHNITZEL & Israeli Salad

This is a childhood meal of mine that I modified to fit my cooking style. In other words, there is no frying, mashed potatoes, or corn. Not that I don’t love those things, but I realize there is zero nutritional value in potatoes or corn so I rarely make either (except for a delicious Mexican corn recipe that I’ll be sharing very soon!). I also have a weird thing with frying. I can’t stand the smell–it fills my house and lingers for days and my hair wreaks of it, too. Anytime we have a family dinner at my house and a dish requires frying my mom does it at her house (so nice of her, I know).

With that said, below are the 2 recipes that you will find incredibly easy. Shocker!

Schnitzel & Israeli Salad

Ingredients:
  • CHICKEN
  • + Boneless, skinless chicken breast

  • + 1 Egg
  • + Olive Oil
  • + Salt
  • + Lemon
  • ISRAELI SALAD

Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 400º & prep a glass baking dish with olive oil.
  2. Beat egg & a pink of salt in a bowl, set aside. Pour breadcrumbs onto a plate, set aside.
  3. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then the breadcrumbs, place in the baking dish.
  4. Place in oven for 10 minutes, remove & flip pieces, continue baking for another 5ish minutes (or until golden brown on both sides).

  6. Pour a generous amount of olive oil & mix.
  7. Squeeze the lemon juice, starting with 1 lemon, & taste. I like mine VERY lemon-y so I add a second lemon.
