Chicken Schnitzel with Lemon Parsley Butter & Slaw


Description

Pair with zingy lemon parsley butter and crunchy cabbage slaw for a well balanced and tasty dinner idea.

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp sea salt
Decent pinch of black pepper
1 egg, whisked lightly with a splash of milk or water
1 1/2 cups fresh breadcrumbs, made from old bread
Zest and juice of 2 lemons
1/4 cup olive oil
50 g butter
Handful of parsley, very finely chopped
Lemon wedges, to serve

Coleslaw:
2 cups finely shredded cabbage
1/4 cup peanuts
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp sesame oil

Directions

1. Lay each chicken breast on a board. Remove the tenderloins from the undersides and set aside. Run a large, sharp knife through each breast horizontally so you end up with two thinner pieces per breast, plus the tenderloins. Flatten chicken between two sheets of baking paper using a rolling pin, then dredge them in the flour, seasoned with salt and pepper.

2. Whisk the egg in a shallow bowl and set aside. Mix the breadcrumbs with the lemon zest in a larger bowl, then set aside. Organise a production line where you dip each piece of chicken in the egg (letting any excess drain off) and coat it in the crumbs.

3. In a large frypan, sauté the chicken in batches in the olive oil until golden brown and cooked through - about 8 minutes on first side and 3-4 on the second.

4. To make the sauce, wipe the pan clean and melt the butter until it's foaming and beginning to brown. Add the parsley and lemon juice, and let sizzle briefly before removing from the heat.

5. Make a coleslaw by scrunching the cabbage to soften it slightly, then toss it with the peanuts, lemon juice and sesame oil.

6. Serve chicken drizzled with lemon parsley sauce alongside the slaw and lemon wedges.

Enjoy!
