Stuffed Schnitzel (Aka Chicken Kiev)
- 6 chicken breasts, flattened
- 1 egg, beaten (for breading)
- 1 cup white flour (for breading)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- oil (for frying)
- 1/2 kg ground beef
- 3 tablespoons dried cilantro (spice)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 large onion, finely diced
- 1 head garlic, minced
- 1 -2 tablespoon ground cumin
- 1 tablespoon white flour
- 2 tablespoons chicken soup powder
- For the stuffing:
- Saute the diced onion.
- When onion is translucent, add the ground meat and mix so the meat doesn't clump.
- When meat is almost cooked, add the minced garlic and saute until everything is well mixed and cooked.
- Add the cumin and cilantro 1/2 tsp salt and mix well, then remove from burner.
- For breading mixture:
- Mix 1 c flour, 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp pepper in plate.
- To assemble:
- Lay a breast flat on a plate and pile as much of the stuffing as you can in the center of it.
- Fold up the ends and fasten with toothpicks.
- Roll in the beaten egg and then in the breading mixture.
- Deep fry in oil on all sides until browned.
- Transfer to a plate and wait until it cools slightly before removing the toothpicks.
- For the sauce:
- Once all of the schnitzels have been stuffed, there should still be about 1/3-1/2 of the stuffing left over. Put this in a small sauce pan with 1 c water and add the chicken soup mix.
- Bring to a boil, then lower flame and add the 1 Tbsp flour.
- Stir until the sauce has thickened--this should happen pretty quickly.
- Pour the sauce over the toothpick-less schnitzels and serve.
