Copycat Air Force One Veal or Chicken Piccata

"This recipe had been sitting in my recipe box for several years waiting for me to give it a try and I am so glad I finally got around to tasting it. The magazine clipping claims that this is a recipe used by the chef on the US President's official plane, Air Force One. This is so very juicy and so scrumptious."

directions

  • Whisk together eggs and milk in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Mix bread crumbs and lemon zest together in a shallow bowl.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt some butter in it (as much or as little as you prefer- use less if using a nonstick skillet).
  • While butter is melting, dip veal pieces into egg mixture, then coat with crumbs mixture.
  • Pan fry in melted butter until cooked through, just a few minutes per side (time will vary based on how thinly you have pounded your cutlets)- until cooked through and no longer pink inside, but still juicy.
  • Season with salt& pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle with a bit of fresh lemon juice to taste and serve immediately.

  1. What ... no capers? Try adding 3 Tbsp capers, washed and dried!

  1. I will fly on this airline anytime. I didn't have Italian seasoned breadcrumbs so added Italian seasoning to breadcrumbs. I do think the lemon zest together with the Italian seasoning makes this the best veal schnitzel I have had. I served this with a baked potato with sour cream and mixed salad leaves and it was food fit for a king. Would work really well with chicken, which I will try next time.
     
  2. Just wonderful! I made mine with the veal. They came out nice and juicy. I cut the recipe down to 2 servings. This is so quick and easy to prepare. I served it with recipe #257991 and some fried German potatoes. Excellent meal. Thanks for posting. :)
     
  3. This was fantastic! I used chicken tenders and also had to add italian seasoning to plain bread crumbs. This was also good fried up the next day for sandwiches. Thanks Heather for posting a yummy recipe!
