Schnitzel on Spätzle!!!! Das ist gut!!!
My camera was running low on battery, so just a couple of pics. I stole the idea for this meal from "Diners, Drive-ins & Dives". Schnitzel on Spätzle. Schnitzel is a term in Germany, that us southern folks like to call chicken fried. They both mean some kind of meat that is breaded and fried. Spätzle is a small noodle that you shove through a colander, to form little nuggets. I got 3 chicken breasts and pounded them thin with the back of my ladle. I almost bought a meat tenderizing hammer, but they wanted $14. My ladle did the trick just fine. My dredging station was flour/eggs/panko bread crumbs in that order. Then you fry these things until they are golden brown and crispy. The Spätzle is basically normal pasta dough, but you push it thru a colander or slotted spoon held over a pot of boiling water. The dough drops off in these little nuggets, and you boil them for just a few minutes. Then into a saucepan...
