Ingredients

Scale

1/2x 1x 2x 3x

• 1 red bell pepper, finely choppedv
• 1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
• Chicken (boneless thigh or breast), cut into small cubes
• 2 eggs, depending on size
• 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (optional for texture)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Other spices (optional, such as paprika, garlic powder, or mixed herbs)
• 2 tablespoons flour
• Grated cheese (optional, such as Parmesan or a soft cheese like mozzarella)
• 3 oil (for frying)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables:

   1. • Finely chop red bell pepper and green bell pepper into small pieces.
      • Add the chopped peppers into a large bowl.

2. Prepare the Chicken:

   1. • Cut the chicken into small cubes.
      • Add the chicken cubes to the bowl with the chopped peppers.
      • If preferred, you can use a meat grinder to mince the chicken, but it is traditional to keep it in small pieces instead.

3. Prepare the Mixture:

   1. • In the same bowl, add 1 or 2 eggs (depending on their size), 2 tablespoons of Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs, and 2 tablespoons flour.
      • Season with salt and pepper, and feel free to add other spices that you like, such as paprika or garlic powder.
      • If desired, you can add grated cheese for extra flavor and texture.
      • Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be somewhat runny – this is normal.

4. Fry the Schnitzels:

   1. • Heat 2-3 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
      • Use a spoon to scoop portions of the mixture and drop them into the hot pan.
      • Cook each portion for about 4-5 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
      • Flip the schnitzels and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes on the other side, ensuring they are cooked through and crispy.

5. Serve:

   1. • Remove the schnitzels from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
      • Serve warm, enjoy your Hungarian-inspired chicken schnitzels!
