City Chicken

Here it is the basic City Chicken recipe and yes there isn't any chicken in it...



This is a recipe from long ago but seems to be coming around again.  A hometown favorite when I was growing up.  Veal was in abundance and so was pork so add a wooden skewer and mix the cubes and that's about it.

UPDATED:

1 lb. veal cubes
1 lb. pork cubes
2 eggs beaten well
8 wooden skewers
1 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/2 to 3/4 C breadcrumbs***(you can use seasoned breadcrumbs if you prefer)
Dash onion powder
Dash garlic powder
1/2 tsp. parsley
1/4 C (approximately)Vegetable or olive oil (whatever is best in your house)

***NOTE: Veal has been difficult to get so pork is easily substituted.  It’s still delicious.



Trim off any unsightly fat from veal and pork.  Dip veal and pork cubes in beaten seasoned egg.  Alternating veal and pork add as many to a skewer but leave some space on the end so you are able to dip the whole skewer in seasoned breadcrumbs evenly.

  Fry in a light amount of cooking oil slowly until browned.  Place on a baking dish and bake at 350 degrees covered for approximately 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and serve with your favorite side dish.  Ours was on this particular day oven baked sweet potatoes.  Yummy!
