Reading this made me salivate.Chicken schnitzels
If you have never made your own chicken schnitzels, I promise they are ten times better than bought ones!
Ratios of the flour/breadcrumbs/egg depends on how many schnitzels you end up with, just add more as needed
Ingredients
-2x chicken breast fillets
-half a packet of Panko breadcrumbs
-1 cup of flour (can be plain or self-raising, both have worked for me)
-lemon zest-1 lemon
-1 egg, beaten
-salt/pepper
Method-
Take 3 bowls and put the egg in one, flour in another and the bread crumbs in the last bowl. Put the lemon rind into the bread crumb bowl, add a pinch of salt and pepper and mix together.
Next, take your chicken breasts and slice them into schnitzels. I just hold the breast, look at it side on and place my knife depending on how thick I want them and cut horizontally , I usually get 3 or 4 to each breast.
The next step is coating them. Using your left hand, grab each schnitzel and coat it in the flour and then the egg. Then, still using your left hand, place it into the bread crumb bowl. With your right hand grab the crumbs and put them onto the top side and pat them into the chicken. Then turn over and repeat with other side. (Separating your hands makes less messy fingers)
Once all the schnitzels are coated, put some oil (I use olive oil, I think some others are better for frying though) into your pan and fill up until it would be half way up the schnitzels. Turn onto med-high heat and once heated, put the chicken in in batches, flipping once until both sides are golden and cooked through.
I usually serve it with sweet potato mash, honey carrots and some corn. Yum!
You can tweak the recipe by adding Parmesan/other herbs any way you like.
I love crumbed chicken. I've never made it myself though.
