Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 4 eggs
- 2½ cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup oil
For the slaw
- 4 baby cabbage (or 1 medium-size cabbage), shredded
- 2 carrots peeled and thinly sliced
- 1-2 Jalapeño de-seeded and finely chopped
- 1 cup Fresh coriander/cilantro leaves
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 2-3 tsp lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice the chicken in half, horizontally, creating two thin chicken cutlets.
- Place chicken in between two sheets of parchment paper.
- Flatten with a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Place flour, salt, a pinch of pepper and half teaspoon garlic powder into a wide bowl suitable for dipping the chicken in. Whisk eggs into a second bowl and combine the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and remaining garlic powder into another.
- Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the beaten eggs and finally in the seasoned breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large pan or skillet over medium high heat.
- Carefully lay the chicken into the hot oil and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
- Remove the cooked schnitzel from the pan and allow to drain on a paper towel lined plate.
- Thinly slice the cabbage and carrots and place in a large bowl. Finely chop the jalapeños then add to the salad along with the fresh coriander/cilantro.
- Mix together the mayonnaise, maple syrup, lemon juice, salt and pepper then pour over the salad. Toss to coat.
- Serve the chicken schnitzel with the slaw and extra lemon wedges for squeezing.
