Jager Schnitzel
"My DH was in Germany when he was in the army and he loves German food. This recipe comes from a very well known restaurant in Portland, Oregon called the Rheinlander. I have substituted chicken for veal."

This was so delicious! We loved the mushroom gravy and we loved ours served over rice. The chicken still remained crispy on the outside and flavorful. Thank you! -
My German hubby loved this...even if it's not made with veal or pork...and he's not a chicken lover...the mushroom sauce was delicious...I used heavy cream instead of sour cream...this is a keeper and will be made again...made for FYC tag game... -
I'm not going to rate, but this is not Jager Schnitzel. Jager Schnitzel is pork or veal cutlet pounded thin and breaded with a delicious creamy mushroom gravy. -
Delicious! I followed the recipe except that I added a cup of broth to the sauce and also a touch of paprika to the chicken. -
Good, but not very much like any jager schnitzel I have eaten in Germany. Also, definitely need to make more of the sauce. And I subbed pork chops for the chicken.
