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 with butter, lemon and chives to give 

them a little color and more flavor.

I completed the meal with roasted brussels sprouts, 

and a couple of St. Pauli Girls.

MAN, was this good!!!
