Andy Hay’s Chicken Schnitzel

chicken shnitzel by andy hay
3 Min Read June 10, 2020
I am a real sucker for easy, healthy, delicious weeknight meals. Something that you can get on the table quickly, but doesn’t sacrifice flavour. This is one of those meals you are going to want to add to the rotation. And best of all this is 100% kid and picky-eater friendly.   Chicken schnitzel is not difficult whatsoever. The most complicated part would be slicing the chicken breast in half horizontally and then pounding the meat to make it thinner. This step makes the meat more tender and reduces cooking time. Overall win-win.   Another reason I love this dish is it’s so incredibly versatile. You can really add any topping you have on hand. Want to make crispy chicken caesar salad? Easy. Chicken Parmesan? Boom, done! This dish can easily be taken in so many directions which I really love about it. Even with regards to equipment needed, there are very few barriers. All you really need is a pan and heat. If you wanted to add melted cheese, you could use an oven, or even just add the cheese on top of the chicken and then throw it on the pan to allow the cheese to melt. Easy peasy.  

Ingredients:

4 chicken breasts, halved horizontally

2 cups panko breadcrumbs

1/2 cup flour

2 eggs

1/4 cup milk

2 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

Vegetable oil for shallow frying

Topping;

20 cherry tomatoes, halved

2 cups fresh mozzarella, pulled into pieces

1/2 cup homemade or store-bought pesto

1 cup basil leaves

 
  • Here we go! Firstly, let’s get totally set up. Get out there large bowls. In bowl one add in the flour and season it with salt and pepper. Next up in bowl two, crack the 2 eggs and add in the milk. Give this a stir. Lastly, in bowl three add in the panko crumbs and also season with salt and pepper. Set all three bowls off to the side.
 
  • Next up we are going to flatten out the halved chicken breasts. Don’t get intimidated by this. We want to make them about 5mm thick. So, what you are going to do is slice the breasts in half horizontally. After doing this you will have 2 similar sized halves. Next, lay one of the breasts down on a cutting board, cover with a piece of plastic wrap, and then hit the breast with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
 
  • Once all of the chicken is pounded thin, let’s kick on with the crumb. Firstly, drop the breast into the bowl of flour and make sure chicken is fully covered. Next up, the egg mixture. Again, make sure the breast is fully covered by the egg mixture. Finally, into the panko crumbs. Make sure to give the panko a bit of a squeeze to ensure they stick to the chicken.
 
  • Now, place a pan with about a 1 cm of oil onto the stove over medium-high heat. Once the oil is to temp, slowly place the chicken into the oil. Let the chicken fry until golden brown, (about 3 minutes) and then flip and fry the other side. Once golden on both sides, remove from pan and let drain on a piece of paper towel or a wire rack.

  • Next up, get the oven ripping hot. Set to 500. While the oven is heating, on a sheet pan dress the chicken with the pesto, then the mozzarella, and then the cherry tomatoes. Once the oven is to temp, slide tray in oven and let cook for 8 minutes or until cheese is melted. I finished the cooking by turning the burn on high to brown the cheese and tomatoes slights.

  • If you don’t have access to an oven, simply place dressed chicken back into the pan over medium heat and place a lid on the pan. Let the locked in heat melt the cheese and BOOM! Done!
