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.

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

Choosing and prepping asparagus

Choose asparagus with tight, well-formed heads and avoid any with thin woody, dry and dirty stems. Snap off the woody end of the asparagus by holding the spear in the middle and bend the bottom until it finds its natural snapping point. Discard the woody ends, or use in a stock.

Glossary

Scallop

Shellfish with a delicate taste available in a range of sizes. Scallops can be steamed, fried or grilled but should be cooked gently. The flesh is firm and white, the coral (or roe) is orange or pale red in colour.
