City Chicken
- 1 1/2 pounds pork shoulder meat, cut into 1 1/2 inch cubes
- 1 1/2 pounds veal stew meat (use all pork if you can't find veal)
- Salt and pepper for seasoning the meat
- 2 eggs beaten with 3 tablesppons water
- 2 cups seasoned dry bread crumbs
- Flour for dusting the skewers
- 12 to 15 wooden skewers, 4 to 5 inches long
- Vegetable oil for browning
- 1/2 cup water
- Thread each skewer with alternating veal and pork cubes. Season liberally with salt and pepper.
- Dust the skewers with a little flour. Shake off excess.
- Coat the skewers with the egg mixture and the thoroughly bread them with the seasoned bread crumbs.
- In batches, brown the skewers in a large frying pan in the vegetable oil reaching to almost an inch.
- Place the skewers in a 9 x13 inch baking dish and pour the 1/2 cup water or chicken broth into the dish.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake at 325F for 1 hour. Uncover, raise the temp to 350F and bake 15 to 20 minutes more.
- The water in the baking dish keeps the meat moist and creates a little sauce to dress the meat and the must have mashed potatoes!
