Herb chicken schnitzel with cheesy mash potatoes
There’s nothing quite like a hearty meal of chicken schnitzel and mashed potatoes. Try our delicious, flavourful recipe for this cheese and herb-coated schnitzel with a side of cheesy mashed potatoes.
Serves: 2
Ingredients:
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- ⅛ cup grated parmesan
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- Salt and pepper (use garlic salt for extra flavour)
- 30ml milk
- ¼ cup plain flour
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Method:
- Use a meat mallet to flatten your chicken breasts to about two-cm in thickness.
- In a bowl, combine your breadcrumbs, parmesan, and parsley. In a separate bowl, combine the egg and milk. Season your flour with salt and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture. Use a different hand to move the chicken from the egg bowl to the bread crumbs and coat well. Once each breast is coated, place on a plate, cover, and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
- Place a large frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, cook each schnitzel for about three minutes on each side, or until cooked and golden brown.
- For your cheesy mash, make your favourite mash potato recipe and stir in the cheddar cheese until it has melted (or you could try our cauliflower mash for fewer carbs.
- Serve with your favourite fresh herbs sprinkled on top of the schnitzel.
