I would definitely enjoy this! The chicken looks wonderful with a crispy coating, and you retained such a nice vibrant green color on the asparagus.

Love what panko does to these types of meals! And I'm a sucker for anything that has capers in it…I could eat those things straight from a jar.

Yummy! Panko coating is the BEST! One of my brothers and his son are chefs specializing in Japanese cuisine so I esp. appreciate this. 🙂 When are you going to try Tampura?! 😉

This looks really good. I love capers and can't wait to try it in my new kitchen. It looks easy enough for even me to try. Thanks for stopping by to take a look and yes I still had built-ins that worked from the '70's. So glad they're gone. I'm definately going to start visiting you each day.

Gorgeous! I slice my chicken breasts in half to cut them thin. I love this recipe – I do something similar – but have not used panko – will definitely try. And your presentation is what more scurmptious than mine!

where are the noodles? as i just recently confessed, i adore the sound of music. so, seeing schnitzel without noodles just seems weird. 🙂 just kidding–it looks absolutely delicious!

That looks wonderful. I've never tried making schnitzel, but you make it look so easy!There's a restaurant in Seattle that makes some incredible German food–especially during the month of October, when they base most of their menu on that cuisine. They make incredible weiner schnitzel, and now it's good to know I can easily make something similar myself.
Juliana
