Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Schnitzels Recipe

panko breadcrumbs

oil spray

tbsp AP flour

mayonnaise

tbsp dijon mustard

tsp salt

tsp black pepper

chicken breasts

Spray a baking sheet with a generous layer of oil then spread the panko over the tray. Mix gently with your hands.

Remove from the oven and increase the oven temperature to 430ºF/220ºC.

Break an egg into a shallow bowl and lightly whisk to mix the white and yolk. Add in the flour, mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper and mix to form a thick paste.

Place the chicken smooth side up on a sheet of baking paper or gladwrap/clingfilm. Cover with a second sheet and use a rolling pin or smooth meat hammer to flatten the chicken until it is about 1/2inch/1.25cm thick all over. Repeat with all 4 chicken breasts.

Set a wire rack over a baking sheet and spray/brush lightly with oil.

Dip the chicken breast into the batter then transfer to the tray of breadcrumbs. Carefully flip the chicken so both sides are well coated with the crispy crumb. Place onto the oiled rack and repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

Bake the chicken for 10 minutes until crispy and golden.

Chicken breasts are tenderised, covered in breadcrumbs and fried until golden and crispy to make this tasty German-inspired dish. It's an easy dinner everyone will love

Chicken schnitzel with coleslaw

flour

egg,

dried breadcrumbs (we used panko)

vegetable oil

white cabbage, shredded

carrot,

spring onions, sliced diagonally

apple,

pot natural yogurt

lemon

tsp English mustard

For the coleslaw, get your child to mix all the ingredients in a large bowl. Season a little and set aside.

Place a layer of cling film on your work surface and pop the chicken fillets on top. Cover with another piece of cling film and, using a rolling pin, ask your child to bash the chicken until it is 2-3mm thick.

Put the flour on a plate and season, then put the egg on another plate. Get your child to dip the chicken in the flour to coat, then into the egg.

Mix together the breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a shallow bowl, then ask your child to toss the chicken in the mixture to completely coat in the crumbs. Put the chicken on a plate and chill in the fridge until ready to eat if you’re not cooking them straight away.

Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a fairly high heat and cook the chicken schnitzels two at a time. Sizzle them for 2-3 mins each side until completely golden, then lift out onto kitchen paper to drain. You can keep them warm in a low oven while you cook the rest. Serve with the coleslaw.
