Israeli Chicken Schnitzel

 Whether it is veal, pork or chicken, a crisp breaded crust is 

always a delicious treat for lunch or dinner.

This became a popular dish when veal was unavailable,

but chicken was readily available.  Served with buttered baby potatoes, 

an Israeli salad (similar to Greek salad) and lemon wedges, you have 

all the components to make an interesting meal of varying 

textures and flavors.

The addition of sesame seeds to the crust gives

added flavor and uniqueness to the whole dish. 

As Always, 

ENJOY!
