chicken schnitzel

Fried breaded poultry

Chicken schnitzel is a boneless chicken breast pounded thin, breaded, and fried until crispy—the chicken version of the classic Viennese veal schnitzel.

It appears on menus worldwide, often served with lemon wedges: The pub's chicken schnitzel comes with chips and salad.

In Australian slang, a chicken schnitzel topped with tomato sauce and melted cheese is a parmi or parma.
