In season 11 episode 2 of Guy's Big Bite, Guy Fieri tackles a classic dish with a twist: Chicken Schnitzel. With his usual enthusiasm and energy, Guy takes on the challenge of creating a mouthwatering and flavorful schnitzel using chicken instead of the traditional veal.
The episode begins with Guy sourcing his ingredients and explaining the process of creating a perfect schnitzel. He emphasizes the importance of using quality ingredients, especially the chicken; he recommends using free-range chicken that has been raised without antibiotics. Once he has his ingredients, he begins by pounding the chicken breasts until they are thin and even. He then seasons the chicken with a mixture of paprika, garlic powder, cayenne, and salt before coating it in flour, then beaten eggs, and finally a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and chopped parsley.
Once the schnitzels are coated, Guy heats up a large pan with a generous amount of oil. He carefully places the schnitzels in the pan, ensuring that they are evenly spaced and cook evenly. While the schnitzels are cooking, Guy prepares a creamy mushroom sauce that will be served on top of them. He starts by sautéing mushrooms in butter until they are tender and fragrant. He then adds flour to make a roux, followed by chicken broth, heavy cream, and white wine. The sauce simmers while the schnitzels finish cooking.
With the schnitzels and sauce both ready, Guy sets about arranging them on the plate. He places the schnitzels on top of a bed of creamy mashed potatoes before spooning the mushroom sauce over the top. To finish, he garnishes the dish with chopped parsley and lemon wedges, which add brightness and freshness to the rich and hearty dish.
Throughout the episode, Guy infuses his signature personality and flair into every step of the recipe. He shares tips and tricks for creating a perfectly crispy schnitzel and a deliciously creamy mushroom sauce. He also includes personal anecdotes and stories, making the episode entertaining as well as informative.
Overall, season 11 episode 2 of Guy's Big Bite is a mouthwatering exploration of a classic dish. Guy's take on Chicken Schnitzel is innovative and exciting, and his enthusiasm for cooking is infectious.
