Description

Chicken schnitzel transforms into a delightful, crunchy experience with this innovative take on a classic. Instead of traditional breading, crushed pork rinds create a remarkably flavorful and satisfyingly crisp coating for the chicken. The result is a tender and juicy chicken cutlet encased in a remarkably savory and texturally exciting crust.

Each bite delivers a satisfying crunch that gives way to the moist, flavorful chicken within. This schnitzel variation offers a delightful contrast to the often-heavy traditional versions. The pork rind coating, seasoned to perfection, provides a unique umami depth that complements the mildness of the chicken beautifully.

It's a textural masterpiece, offering both delicate tenderness and robust crispness. Alongside the schnitzel, vibrant green broccoli florets are roasted to perfection, achieving a delightful balance of tender stems and slightly caramelized tips. A carefully selected blend of seasonings enhances the natural sweetness of the broccoli, creating a savory side dish that perfectly complements the richness of the schnitzel.

The simple addition of spicy brown mustard elevates the roasted broccoli to new heights. The mustard's tangy zest and subtle heat play beautifully against the mellow, roasted vegetable, adding a layer of complexity and intrigue to the overall dish. The combination of the savory schnitzel, the tender-crisp broccoli, and the zesty mustard creates a harmonious and well-balanced meal.

This dish is more than just a meal; it's an experience. The crispy schnitzel, the perfectly roasted broccoli, and the flavorful mustard combine to create a symphony of tastes and textures that will leave you feeling satisfied and energized. It's a comforting yet exciting dish that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special weekend meal.

The ease of preparation makes it an accessible option for cooks of all skill levels, while the satisfying flavors and textures will appeal to even the most discerning palates. This recipe is a guaranteed crowd-pleaser and a delightful way to enjoy a modern twist on a beloved classic.

Instructions

    Preheat an oven to 400 degrees. Make the pork rind breading by pulsing pork rinds, mustard powder, and garlic powder in a food processor until its all fine and crumbly.

    3.
    Lay two chicken thighs on a cutting board and pound to about -inch thickness. Season with the salt, pepper, and italian seasoning.
    4.
    Bread each chicken thigh by first dipping it into the egg, letting the egg run off, and then coating in the pork rind breading. Lay the breaded thighs on a sheet tray lined with parchment paper.
    5.
    Bake the tray for 40 minutes, no flipping necessary.
    6.
    While the chicken is baking, make the side dish. In a bowl, toss THAWED broccoli florets with the remaining seasonings and brown mustard. Arrange the broccoli on a well seasoned sheet tray, spread out.
    7.
    Bake the tray of broccoli in the oven with the chicken for 18 minutes.
    8.
