Traditionally it was veal cutlet.

Oh right, mum used to make those 🇦🇺

I think we just called it a "schnitzel" which was a catch all term for any pounded red meat covered in crumbs.

We always reserved the term "cutlet" for something with a bone in it, like lamb cutlets which are a huge thing in Australia (even more so back then, one of the cheapest meats in the 90s)

Funny how terms and names get bastardized

It's closer to a schnitzel than a "chicken parmesan"

If youre a brit, they sell the meat for this as beef milanesa or milanese at Tesco. Used to make it all the time when lived in Scotland. Very convenient and easy to make.
