Chicken Schnitzel Recipe for Sunday Dinner

Sunday Dinner Recipe🍽️

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Chicken Schnitzel Recipe for Sunday Dinner, A Dutch Classic dinner that your family will love! This takes up the regular chicken dinner notch.

A Dutch Dish:

Chicken Schnitzel with Homemade mashed potatoes and baby peas! Served with or without gravy! One of The Vandenberg’s favorite dinners and makes a perfect Sunday dinner! This Chicken is so good you won’t want to eat Chicken any other way😉

I know some of you are going to comment… Schnitzel is a German dish…yes, it is with pork! The Dutch created the twist with Chicken 😉 My hubby’s family has been making it for years, which is one of our family’s FAVORITES.

So, pull out some chicken breast and make this yummy Sunday dinner❤️

Recipe:

-4 Chicken breast (pounded out thin)

-3 eggs (whipped) add salt pepper

-Bread crumbs (about two cups)

We like Italian by Progresso (a tip I add a tablespoon of garlic salt & onion powder)

-Butter- to fry Chicken in, about 1/2 cube per side…

Pound out chicken breast (thin). TIP: (cover in Saran Wrap) to avoid splattering ✔️ crack eggs and whip with a fork in a bowl. Add bread crumbs and seasoning to a separate bowl—dip chicken in egg, then bread crumbs. Heat the skillet, add 1/2 cube of butter, and let it melt. Add Chicken, flip when golden brown, and add the rest of the butter… done when both sides are golden brown.

Serve with Homemade mashed potatoes, baby peas, and gravy.

Easy Avocado Toast Recipe

Hello Pretty Ladies,

This is my easy and oh so delicious Avocado toast recipe. Fun Fact: I was not too fond of avocados until a couple of years ago. I was not too fond of the texture. Now, I eat one every day and could eat this Toast every day! I am not going to chat today. I am just getting to the recipe!

Avocado Toast Recipe:

You’ll need the following:

1 Avocado Cut up and mashed, seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning.

2 slices of Toast buttered (We love sourdough)

1 Egg scrambled or cooked the way you liked. Salt and peppered! (I had a little shredded cheese on my Egg)

1 Farm fresh Tomato sliced and seasoned with Everything bagel seasoning

Assemble:

Make sure your Toast is toasted well. This helps the bread from getting soggy. I also like my Toast buttered.

Once you have all of the above prep, Egg cooked, Toast toasted and buttered, Avocado cut mashed and seasoned, tomato sliced and seasoned. You assemble.

I like to spread the Avocado first. This acts like glue for the Egg; add Egg, layer tomato, and sprinkle with a bit of extra bagel seasoning!

That’s it! Taste fantastic and better than any restaurant Avocado toast! (I am sure the key is butter, everything bagel seasoning, and a farm-fresh tomato)

Shop a couple of Kitchen Items I love below:

Avocado Keeper (trust me, it really works)

Everything Bagel Seasoning

Jumbo Size Everything Bagel seasoning for $12.99

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana

The Elvis Sandwich: Grilled Peanut Butter & Banana Sandwich

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Today, I am sharing The recipe & How to make Elvis’s Favorite Sandwich, On Good Things Utah, for a promotion for the upcoming Elvis movie. So, my first time, I’ll be sharing a recipe on tv. However, I am used to sharing fashion, so I might be slightly nervous this time. (Wish me luck!)

If you follow me on Instagram, you know I share recipes and cooking in my stories. I love to cook for my family and share it with my followers.

A funny thing…My hubby the other day made a peanut butter and banana sandwich, and I said, “oh, you’re making the Elvis sandwich!” He said, “what?” Ben had no idea that was Elvis’s favorite Sandwich! He said, “how do you know that?” I told him I had heard it years ago when I was a kid and never forgot it. My mom adored Elvis. I am sure it was her that said something. It’s a southern thing!

Now, Elvis liked his Sandwich grilled and made with a lot of butter and even bacon fat! So I am making it without the bacon fat and a little less butter! But feel free to make it the Elvis way!

Watch the Tv Segment on Good Things Utah

The Recipe:

Elvis Presley’s Fried Peanut Butter and Banana Sandwich

Two slices of white bread

2 tablespoons butter

1 small ripe banana mashed

2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Directions

Place two pieces of white bread in the toaster on a light setting. Heat skillet over medium heat with two tablespoons of butter. While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, using a fork, mash the ripe banana until it reaches a smooth consistency. Using a knife, take both pieces of the toasted bread and spread two tablespoons of creamy peanut butter, topping one side with the mashed banana. Place one slice of bread on top of the other, forming a sandwich. Place sandwich in a hot skillet, browning each side and flipping with a spatula for about 2 minutes per side. Take out of the skillet, slice on a diagonal, and serve on a plate.

Tip: This would be good drizzles with warm chocolate or honey. This Sandwich is warm, delicious, and gooey. You might want to eat it with a fork.

A build your Own BLT bar. There is no need to slave in a hot kitchen, and a great way to enjoy the yummy Summer tomatoes from the Farmer’s market.

You’ll need:

–Sourdough bread (or bread of your choice) we like lightly toasted

–Ripe Tomatoes (farm fresh or, locally grown) sliced ( I like to have two per sandwich). Tip: salt and pepper them

–Iceberg lettuce or Roman for a good crunch

–Ripe Avocado ( sliced )

–Sliced cheese. I like to have pepper Jack and cheddar

Condiments

Great Cooking Tip:

Tip: To cook Bacon easy and with no mess… cover the cookie sheet with tin foil and lay out Bacon on a cookie sheet and cook at 400…. No mess, easy cleanup, and no slaving over a hot stovetop.

BLT serving BAR:

I like to lay everything out like an assembly line… then everyone can build their own sandwich with all the items they love. Also great for a big crowd. You can get as creative as you want, use your fun serving pieces or paper and plastic depending on your style.

I have used all of my white serving pieces and used my kitchen island that is closet to my back porch. Making it easy for them to form a line, create their sandwich, and head to the porch to eat Alfresco.

I love a meal you can eat with your hands, which makes for easy clean-up. Build Your Own BLT Bar Perfect for Summer Dining is just that. Hoping you have a beautiful & safe Memorial weekend.
