1 egg, whisked with 1 tablespoon water

Preparation

Place chicken breast on chopping board and with a sharp knife, slice evenly through to create 2 or depending on thickness, even 3 thin escalopes of chicken. Flatten out to even width with a meat mallet.

Lay out three large plates ready to coat the chicken - one with seasoned flour, another with egg mix, another with breadcrumbs.

Using one hand, lightly coat the chicken with flour, shake off excess, dip each side into egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.

Heat a deep frying pan with the oil and one or two at a time, cook the chicken schnitzel, turning over once the underside turns golden brown.

Prepare a draining bowl - a deep sided bowl filled with crumpled absorbent kitchen paper and stand the cooked schnitzel upright so more of the oil is able to drain away.

Serve with potatoes- mashed, boiled or fried.

Liven Up the Crumbs a Bit!

I like to liven up the coating a bit using a blend of ingrediants. Try a blend of breadcrumbs and oats, mixed with a little grated parmesan cheese and chopped parsley. Or Panko breadcrumbs which can be found in the Asian sections of large supermarkets are fantasic.

Have been to corner 75 and , yes, he does make the best schnitzel. I am having a dinner party tomorrow and will follow his recipe, I thought one should use olive oil but as he used vegetable oil so will I. His restaurant is a delight- warm and friendly and anything you order there is good, authentic and tasty Four star

Hot Tips

Roasting/toasting spices

Whole or ground spices can be toasted. While the toasting process is the same for both, ground spices may toast slightly faster than whole. Simply place a dry skillet over medium heat. When the pan gets hot, pour in the desired amount of spice.
