Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Veal or chicken cutlets (pounded thin)
- 0.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk or dairy-free alternative
- 1 cups Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter or oil (for frying)
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place each veal or chicken cutlet between two pieces of plastic wrap. Pound the cutlets thin using a meat mallet or rolling pin until they are about 1/4 inch thick. Set aside.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper. In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third dish, add the gluten-free breadcrumbs.
Dredge each cutlet in the gluten-free flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the gluten-free breadcrumbs, ensuring the entire cutlet is evenly breaded. Set the breaded cutlets aside on a large plate.
Heat the butter or oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it is shimmering but not smoking. You will need enough butter or oil to fully coat the bottom of the skillet.
Fry the breaded cutlets one or two at a time, depending on the size of your skillet. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the cooked cutlets to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining cutlets, adding more butter or oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the Gluten-Free Wiener Schnitzel immediately with lemon wedges on the side. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Pair with a side of potato salad, cucumber salad, or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
