Bissli Schnitzel
Servings
4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 eggs beaten
- 1 cup crushed Bissli about 4, 1-ounce bags
- 4 skinless boneless chicken breast cutlets
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare 2 baking sheets. Line only one with paper towels.
- Places eggs in a shallow bowl.
- Place crushed Bissli in a second shallow bowl.
- Working with one cutlet at a time, assembly line style, submerge chicken in beaten eggs to coat. Then cover with crushed Bissli, pressing gently to coat both sides.
- Place on the baking sheet without the paper towels.
- Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Heat a large saute pan with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil over medium high heat.
- Once oil is shimmering and hot fry chicken about 4 minutes per side for thick cutlets or 2 to 3 minutes per side for thin cutlets. For crispy chicken do not overcrowd the pan. Drain on the paper towel lined baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining chicken.
We haven’t tested that way but I think it would work well
can i use boned chicken and bake instead of frying?
Thanks
I don’t bc the Bissli is salty and flavorful – but you can feel free to season with a touch of salt and a more genreous amount of pepper.
Hi! Do you season the chicken beforehand?
It does and they do but I happen to like them all. I showed it with BBQ bc I feel like that’s the most universally liked flavor but feel free to go with your fave.
Does it matter which flavor ? Do the different flavors influence the taste?
This is a common question and it is based on the fact that extra virgin olive oil has a lower smoke point so many believe it is not ideal for high temperature frying. But the ideal temperature for frying is still below the smoke point of olive oil and since it is one of the healthiest oils it is actually healthier to fry with it.
I’ve noticed many recipes which include frying with olive oil. I’ve always understood that it is unhealthy and when frying use canola oil.
Hi Joan
Bissli is a popular Israeli snack food food that is readily available in the U.S and even comes kosher for Passover. They come in lots of flavors.
