This recipe had been sitting in my recipe box for several years waiting for me to give it a try and I am so glad I finally got around to tasting it. The magazine clipping claims that this is a recipe used by the chef on the US President's official plane, Air Force One. This is so very juicy and so scrumptious. Ingredients:
1 1/2 lbs veal cutlets or 1 1/2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded very thin |
3 large eggs |
1/2 cup milk |
2 cups italian seasoned breadcrumbs |
2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest, finely grated |
2 tablespoons sweet unsalted butter, to taste |
salt, to taste |
black pepper, to taste |
1 lemon, juice of |
Directions:
1. Whisk together eggs and milk in a small bowl and set aside.
2. Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together in a shallow bowl.
3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt some butter in it (as much or as little as you prefer- use less if using a nonstick skillet).
4. While butter is melting, dip veal pieces into egg mixture, then coat with crumbs mixture.
5. Pan fry in melted butter until cooked through, just a few minutes per side (time will vary based on how thinly you have pounded your cutlets)- until cooked through and no longer pink inside, but still juicy.
6. Season with salt& pepper to taste.
7. Sprinkle with a bit of fresh lemon juice to taste and serve immediately.
