Creamy Chicken and Mushroom – Rahm Schnitzel

Happy New Year! I wish you a flavourful and enjoyable 2024.

Today I am sharing with you, a dish that shows up regularly on our dinner table. It’s one my husband’s favourite meals that he ate often, growing up in Switzerland. The Swiss call this dish, Rahm Schnitzel. Rahm basically translates to “cream” and schnitzel well that means ” a thin slice of meat, usually veal, that is coated in breadcrumbs. ” I remember eating this for the first time in Switzerland and i absolutely loved it. The original dish doesn’t call for onions or garlic seasoning, but I feel that it adds depth to this delicious meal.

I obviously have adapted the recipe to suit my families needs and tastebuds. I usually make this recipe with pork tenderloin (fillet) as it is my husband’s favourite, but I do prefer the chicken option. The recipe remains the same for both pork or chicken.

It is creamy, full of flavour and a meal that will be loved by all. I serve it with Potato Rosti, ( I will share a recipe of that soon), or pasta of choice and sometimes we have it with rice or mashed potatoes.

I hope you enjoy this meal and that it becomes a regular in your home as it is in mine.

Happy cooking , Pri.
