Old Fashioned City Chicken Recipe

	Crabhappychick / All my dishes 1 year, 6 months ago This is an old Pittsburgh favorite the way my mom used to make it. Very popular in the 40's & 50's and a nice trip down the culinary memory lane. You still find pre-assembled city chicken in the grocery store, but these days its made with pork only... More Prep:5m Cook:30m Servings:6	Crabhappych

Ingredients

3 pounds pork and veal cubes

2 eggs

1 T. water

1/2 cup flour

bought cracker crumbs

2 T. butter

1/4 C. oil

hefty wooden skewers - approximately 6" long - get at the meat counter

Directions

Alternate pork and veal cubes threading onto wooden skewers, about 5 or 6 cubes per skewer. Beat egg with water. Set aside.

Dredge skewered meat in flour, then in egg, then dredge well and cover completely with cracker crumbs.

Heat oil & butter in large skillet, then brown meat on all sides. Once the skewers are well-browned, add water about 1/2" up sides of skillet, cover tightly with a lid. Lower temperature and cook until meat is tender.

NOTE: These go really well with sweet and sour red cabbage and mashed potatoes.

These do sound good, but you are right it has been ages since I have had veal, beef is hard enough to convince myself to buy veal has become out of the question. Unless I find a really good deal.
