Chicken Schnitzel
Moist yet crispy, this schnitzel recipe is known as chicken nuggets in our household and is an absolute winner every time it's served.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast
- 1/4 cup flour
- salt and pepper
- 2 large eggs (whisked)
- 1.5 cups bread crumbs
- olive oil (to fry)
Instructions
- Slice chicken breast into pieces of 1cm thickness.
- Roll chicken in seasoned flour then coat in whisked eggs and crumb with bread crumbs.
- Heat olive oil on medium-high heat in frying pan.
- Fry chicken pieces for roughly 7mins per side or until brown and crispy crumb with white inside. Serve with a side of veg or use in Japanese curry, chicken lasagna or homemade sushi.
Notes
- Schnitzel size – the thinner the schnitzel, the fraster it will cook. 1cm thickness ensures moisture is retained and cooking time is roughly 7 mins a side.
- Serving suggestions – a family favourite when served with gravy, mash and peas. Also great in homemade sushi (RecipeTinEats recipe), Japanese curry (Good Wholesome Nutrition recipe) or chicken lasagne (recipe found here).
