Wikipedia
Schnitzel
A schnitzel is a thin slice of meat. The meat is usually thinned by pounding with a meat tenderizer. Most commonly, the meat is breaded before frying. Breaded schnitzel is popular in many countries and is made using veal, pork, chicken, mutton, beef, or turkey. Schnitzel is very similar to the dish escalope in France and Spain, tonkatsu in Japan, cotoletta in Italy, kotlet schabowy in Poland, milanesa in Latin America, chuleta valluna in Colombia, and chicken-fried steak and pork tenderloin of the United States.

schnitzel
Schnitzel is a traditional German dish that typically consists of a thin slice of meat such as pork, chicken, veal or beef, which is coated in breadcrumbs and then fried. The most well-known version is the Wiener Schnitzel, made from veal. The meat is usually tenderized before being breaded, which results in a dish that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Schnitzel
The Schnitzel is a boneless meat, thinned with a hammer, coated with flour, beaten eggs and bread crumbs, and then fried. It is a popular food in many countries and is made from veal, chicken, beef, turkey or pork. The original Wiener Schnitzel was always made from escalopes of veal and no other meat. In German speaking countries the term Schnitzel means escalopes, not only bread crumbed fried escalopes in Viennese style like the Wiener Schnitzel. The English conception of the schnitzel is confined to the latter, but extended to all kinds of flat pieces of meat.
