A German taste treat made with Veal, Pork, or Chicken. Served with Buttered Noodles or Potato Salad, it is a great weekday dinner.Difficulty: Easy

Equipment
- 3 Medium Mixing Bowl
- Air Fryer
INGREDIENTS
- 6 Veal, Chicken, or Boneless Pork cutlets - ¼” thick
- ¼ cup AP Flour
- 2 Eggs - large
- 1 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
- 1 cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp. Garlic Powder

- Whisk the eggs and mustard together in a 2nd bowl.

- Bread each floured cutlet by coating it first with the egg mixture and then the breadcrumbs. Pat the breading on each cutlet to make sure the breadcrumbs stick well.
- Place the cutlets in the air fryer in a single layer, preferably on a wire rack. If necessary, cook the schnitzel in batches.
- Fry for 4 minutes at 375° F. then gently flip the cutlets. Fry for an additional 4 minutes until golden and crispy.
- For BEEF or PORK the internal Temp should be 140° – 145° F.For POULTRY, the internal Tem[ should be 160° – 165° F.
Notes
Traditionally made with Veal, this same recipe works very well with Chicken Breasts or Boneless Pork Chops.
Serve the schnitzel with lemon wedges as garnish and squeeze a bit of juice on them just before serving.
The power of Air Fryers varies widely. Monitor doneness carefully to avoid over-cooking.
Beef (Veal) & Pork are safe at 145° F. All Poultry should be at 165° F internal temp for safety.
