Chicken Fried Chicken, Golden Fried Chicken Schnitzel, whatever you call it

The Sisters of the Spoon winter in Panama City Beach. We love going to a restaurant called the Dat Cajun Place. Sharon’s favorite is the creamy Cajun Chicken Alfredo penne pasta , Tuesday’s special.

Suzy’s favorite is the chicken fried chicken. It is so delicious! Cajun andouille sausage gravy over fried slabs of chicken and a bed of rice. The chef calls them chicken strips. Suzy calls them slabs because they are huge! He shared his recipe in this news article in the Panama City Herald.

Suzy and her hubby had a cravin for this delicious dish so Suzy used her tastebuds to come up with something close to this favorite.

So why a Golden Schnitzel? With the German Heritage in the Midwest and a National Weiner Schnitzel Day, Suzy investigated to see what a schnitzel is. No it is not a food made out of wieners but a veal dish originating in Switzerland. A schnitzel is a thin piece of meat, usually pounded with a meat tenderizer mallet and then breaded and fried.

So whatever you want to call it a Golden Schnitzel or a chicken fried chicken, this is the copycat recipe Suzy has come up, so when the cravin hits she can cook up a close second.
