Chicken Schnitzel
Serving: 1 fried fillet (~120 g)
Schnitzel — breaded, fried chicken breast — is a staple of the Israeli home and lunchroom. The chicken is lean protein; the breading and frying oil are what add the calories.
Nutrition per serving
Good to know
- Baked or air-fried schnitzel can cut a quarter to a third of the calories.
- Thicker breading absorbs more oil and raises the count.
- Served in a baguette with chips and salad, the plate easily doubles.
Logging tip
A schnitzel rarely comes alone — snap the full plate so Nishnush adds the chips and sides.
