Acceptable Egg Substitutes Add enough milk or yogurt to a bowl and submerge the item before rolling it in the breading. You can thin out thick yogurts by adding a splash of milk.

What can I use to coat chicken instead of eggs?
Butter. The simplest and most commonly used substitute for eggs when breading chicken or fish is butter. It’s not very healthy usually, but you can use a low fat, heart healthy butter and have to work just as well as any other butter.
How much oil replaces an egg?

Why do you need eggs to make schnitzel?
The issue of course is that the traditional schnitzel batter requires eggs to make the breading stick to the meat.
What’s the best way to pound a schnitzel?
To pound the Schnitzel, use a meat pounder, tenderizer, or a small pan. Always use the flat side and not the raised side because the little holes in the meat will make it drier. Schnitzels are shallow-fried instead of deep-fried.
What kind of meat do you use for German schnitzel?
You can use boneless pork chops for German Schnitzel, boneless veal chops for Wiener Schnitzel, or chicken breasts to make chicken schnitzel. I often buy the fast fry version that is already pretty thin and only needs a little bit of pounding and just make smaller schnitzel.
What’s the best way to store leftover schnitzel?
Store leftover schnitzel in an airtight container in the fridge. They keep for a few days and taste great cold. My favorite thing to do is to make a schnitzel sandwich. Pound meat until it is super thin about 0.2 inches or 0.5 cm. The thinner the better! Don’t press the schnitzel into the breadcrumbs otherwise, you won’t get air bubbles.
