"Zürcher Geschnetzeltes" or "sliced meat Zurich style" is a popular Swiss dish from Zurich region. Its main ingredients are schnitzel, mushrooms and cream. While it is possible to use any type of meat to make this dish, the real "Zürcher Geschnetzeltes" is made with cut veal. It was originally prepared using meat only, a popular variation today is adding about a fourth of sliced veal kidney to the meat. It usually comes with Rösti, similar to hash browns, but it could also be served with rice, or pasta.
Recipe adapted from Geschnetzeltes Zürcher Art
- 2 Shallots, small
- 400 g Chicken fillet, cut into strips
- 1/4 tsp White pepper powder
- 1/2 tsp Sweet paprika powder
- 3 tbsp Oil
- 50 ml White wine
- 200 ml Cream
- 50 ml Chicken stock
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Parsley, chopped
- 1/2 tsp Finely grated lemon zest
- Finly dice the shallots. Cut the chicken filet into strips. Season the chicken strips with pepper and paparka powder.
- Heat two tablespoons oil in a skillet until hot. Add in marinated sliced chicken and stir over a mediuim-high heat till lightly browned and cooked through, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil in the skillet. Stir the finely chopped shallots till softened and lightly browned. Pour in the white wine and bring it to a boil over a high heat before adding cream and chicken stock. Cook over a medium heat for about 2 minutes then return the chicken strips and any accumulated juices to the pan.
- Heat through, tossing often, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle chopped parsley and lemon zest. Serve with harsh browns.

Gorgeous, gorgeous plates! The tender chicken pieces, the cozy, creamy sauce and the contrasting sprinkle of paprika - heaven!
This dish looks just unbelievable! Well in my world I hear shnitzel and I salivate (even if I can't spell it!)
Angie-I love your chicken dish, so creamy and comforting. It's very similar to the Hungarian style, smothered in a creamy paprika sauce. Yumm!

Love the cream and lemon zest combination. Photos are beautiful.
The name of the dish sounds so exotic . . . and the creamy chicken, so comofrting looking. Best of both worlds. I wonder . . . would the pork I have in the fridge work as well.
Oh...thanks for sharing this! I love finding new ways to make chicken..this sounds wonderful!
Looks really delicious, and I thought that I have enough of chicken and all rich foods during the CNY, but wouldn't mind having this with the delicious looking sauce! Looks so tempting! Gong Xi Fa Cai!
I think eating this with pasta would be perfect with all those delicious creamy sauce floating around!yummy!
I've never tried this, but it looking tempting. A rich and creamy comfort food!
This does sound wonderful, Angie. Serving it over egg noodles would be comfort food at it's best!
This sounds wonderful! I love dishes like this. That creamy wine sauce with the paprika and shallots must taste delicious:) I like that you used chicken instead of veal.
This is new to me and I can't wait to try it! Bookmarking! :) Looks fanastic, Angie!

Thanks for a great recipe. I made this for dinner tonight, served it over egg noodles. It was delicious! :)
That is a different kind of a chicken recipe. I had it once from a restaurant but did not know how to prepare it.
Certainly is a stunning dish, I imagine a fish would do here as well? Very lovely flavors :)
a perfect comfort dish, love the creaminess
sweetlife
Angie...this dish is mouth-watering indeed. Love the creamy gravy...I shall try this when I get hold of a bottle of white wine...I can imagine how delicious this would be. Thanks for sharing something Zurich with us :)
It's funny -- I don't think of Switzerland having its own cuisine, yet obviously it does. This recipe looks great!
I have a few German professor at work, when I talk about food, they love to mention about schnitzels, it seems to be very easy to make, just require a special tool as I heard.
Your chicken dish looks succulent. Love th flavors.
loved the chicken..looks so creamy and yummy!!
Beautiful clicks sweetie..
Great looking chicken..Though I had been to Zurich never got a chance to taste this :-)
This looks mouth-watering good! Definitely making this one - with (easy packaged) potato dumplings perhaps...
Wow, what a great chicken dish, love the idea o white wine and cream, so rich in flavors...yummie!
this chicken dish looks really elegant:) love the flavors in here.. i just bookmarked this recipe. thank you for sharing this and have a great day ahead.
This is GORGEOUS! And the flavors sound so good! Yum!
This is some serious comfort food if I've ever seen any:-) Yum yum!
I have had this before and I must say it is very good. Thanks for sharing.
That creamy chicken looks really good!
Hi Angie..i'm actually trying out ur recipe but can I just change with you..u mention in ur recipe that I need 50mls of chicken stock but the chicken stock that I have is actually concentrated, 1 tbsp to dilute in 180mls of water...can I use tht? If so how much do I need to use tht in ur recipe?
And as for the cream ..can I use whipping cream ? Do I have to whip the cream before using ..apologies I'm such a nob
Pls advice :)))
Sorry I just posted the last ques on chicken stock and cream..will appreciate if you could get back to me soon
My email is @ lianz_89@hotmail.com
:))) Leanne
@Anonymous Leanne, sure you can use diluted chicken stock. You can try diluting 1 tsp concentrated stock with 50ml of water. Yes, whipping cream (30%) works great.
Hi Angie thanks for ur prompt reply...sorry another question if I would like to add in some mushroom..when do u think is a good time for me to put in and is there any recommended amount? Thanks for ur advice :)
@AnonymousLeanne, I would add mushrooms (150-200grams)to the sauce, just stir-frying them with shallots.
Hi Angie, Thank you! for the recipe.
My gf anonymous @Leanne cooked a wonderful meal.
Best chicken ever!
Sorry, a little shout-out from your blog: i love her!
-Kim.
Hi Angie..I've tried ur recipe and my boyfriend love it...thanks for ur advice :)))
