How to make Chicken Schnitzels

Chicken schnitzels are my daughter Gigi’s FAVOURITE thing to eat, it’s actually kind of a problem in our house haha! ANY snack she will request this haha, my girl knows what she wants!

This is a rough recipe for the crumb, but please watch the video for all my tips along the way!

2 large chicken breasts (this will make approx 6-8 schnitzels)
3 eggs, whisked
2 cups panko crumbs
Generous (Leah pinch) of salt
Generous (Leah pinch) of pepper
1-2 tbsp dried oregano
Large sprinkle of paprika
Onion powder & garlic powder (generous sprinkle)

When you’re making your crumb, this is the most important part! Make sure you’re really seasoning it, so if you get to a pint where you’re mixing it all and it’s looking not as colourful as you’d like, add some more spices until you’re happy with it.

More additions for a yummy crumb (if you’re up to it)
Sprinkle of cumin powder
1/4 cup fresh parmesan, grated (this makes for a delicious crumb!)
Fresh parsley, chopped (1 tbsp chopped)
Sprinkle of chilli flakes

Directions and tips:
Slice your chicken horizontally into thin schnitzels. I try to cut mine as thinly as I can so I dont need to pound them with a mallet. If you slice and you’re thinking they’re a little thick, you can pound with a mallet to get to your desired thinness.
Dip the chicken into the whisked egg and then into your crumb mixture. Press your hands into the chicken, pressing in the crumb to ensure it sticks (see video @ 7.30)
Cover your pan with olive oil and heat over a medium heat. Add chicken in batches, renewing the oil as it gets low.
Once browned and cooked on both sides, you’re ready to eat!
