The promise of Chicken Schnitzel can work as a bargaining tool with my kids(more often than not chips are also included). They are pretty easy to make and can be made in advance and left in the fridge until ready to fry, and are brilliant in sandwiches the next day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

2 large or 3 small chicken breasts
2 eggs beaten with splash of milk added
150-200gms of breadcrumbs(about 2 cups – I prefer to use Panko Breadcrumbs as they make the schnitzel very crispy)
2 tbsp of Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
1\/2 tsp of Garlic salt
1 tsp smoked Paprika
1 cup of grated Parmesan Cheese( I buy the ready grated bag from supermarket)
Salt and Pepper for seasoning
3 tbln Oil for frying <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Method<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step One<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Put the chicken breast between 2 pieces of clingfilm and using a meat mallet or rolling pin pound the chicken breast until flat(be careful not to pound too much). Cut the schnitzel into portions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Two<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Put the egg into a large shallow bowl( I use Ikea pasta bowls) and loosely beat – add a splash of milk just to loosen further<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Three<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Into another large shallow bowl add the all the other dry ingredients and mix<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Four<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Take the flattened chicken breast and dip into the egg mixture, allow excess to run off before placing in breadcrumb mixture and pat down to ensure that all parts of chicken is covered with mixture. Remove from mixture and place on plate to be put in the fridge until you are ready to fry the chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step Five<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Heat about 2 tbsp of oil in large frying pan and add chicken – do not overcrowd the pan as this will mean that the chicken will not go crispy – you may need to keep topping up the oil as you go. Once the chicken is cooked remove from pan onto paper towel to drain excess oil and then keep warm until serving ( I usually put the oven on about 160 degrees to keep the chicken warm as I cook).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

When I have time I serve with made chips but if not out salad is always a good family option to serve with this dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
