Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • ½ cup sunflower oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup plain flour
  • a pinch of salt
  • Ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the chicken breasts on the work surface, cut them in 2 lengthwise, and bash them with a meat tenderiser.
  2. Next, we need 2 large plates. On one plate we have plain flour, on the other breadcrumbs.
  3. Beat the egg lightly using a fork, then season with salt and pepper.
  4. Coat the chicken slices in flour, then dip in the egg mixture and in the end toss them well in breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat up the frying pan and add the sunflower oil.
  6. Fry the chicken schnitzels on both sides for about 2 minutes on each side until golden, then remove from the pan and place on a kitchen towel to remove the excess oil.
  7. Serve hot or cold with any sauce.

Notes

  • It is crucial to have the chicken breasts cut thinly or tenderised really well, otherwise it won't cook through.
  • Make sure the pan is not set over a too high heat, otherwise the outside will brown too quickly, while the inside is still raw.
