Question
What blessing is recited over schnitzel?
Answer
Hello, the blessing for schnitzel is generally 'Shehakol'. However, if the breadcrumbs or flour are added with the intention to satiate — for example, to make the schnitzel both a carbohydrate and protein dish, or if they have a dominant taste in the schnitzel and are not completely secondary to the chicken breast, the blessing is 'Borei Minei Mezonot'. [Of course, if breadcrumbs or flour not from the five species of grain are used, such as gluten-free, the blessing remains 'Shehakol'].
