Schnitzel and Perogies

One of Jonathan's favorite meals was the pork schnitzel he ate in Romania a few years ago.  He has tried several times to recreate it, and I think we've finally found the solution.

We use chicken instead of pork, but you can really use any kind of meat, from what I understand. 
Here are step by step instructions.

Start with very thin pieces of chicken.  You can tenderize them or just buy them already sliced thin. 
(That's what I do).

We soak the chicken in chicken broth first, then flour the chicken.

After you flour the chicken, coat it in an egg that you've beaten.

Cover the chicken in bread crumbs.  You can do as much or as little as you want.

Finally, fry the chicken.  We put butter in the pan before frying.  The picture below shows what the chicken should look like when it goes into the frying pan and what the finished product looks like.

That's all!  We usually eat schnitzel with perogies, which is pasta filled with potatoes. 
In Pap's words: Scrumpudious!
