Ingredients
Breadcrumbs
Schnitzels
Method
1
To make fresh breadcrumbs, tear your leftover bread into chunks and pop them into a food processor with a metal blade
2
It’s best to only fill the food processor half-way to give the bread room to move, so you may need to do a couple of batches if you want to make a large amount of breadcrumbs
3
Then pulse until you reach your desired consistency
4
If you prefer a crunchier texture for your breadcrumbs, you can dry your bread out first by placing it in the oven or a toaster before putting it in the food processor
Method
1
Flatten our your chicken fillets by placing between two layers of baking paper on a chopping board and using a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten until roughly 1cm thick
2
In a bowl, add the flour, salt & pepper. In a second bowl crack & whisk the egg and in a 3rd bowl add your homemade breadcrumbs
3
Place your chicken into the flour and cover well, then repeat with the egg mixture & finish with a coating of breadcrumbs
4
In a large pan on high heat, add vegetable or olive oil. Once oil is hot, shallow fry your chicken schnitzels for a few minutes on either side until golden brown
5
Meanwhile, for the salad, roughly chop the lettuce then add to a large bowl. Add a generous amount of caesar dressing & the shaved parmesan & mix well
6
Serve the schnitzels on a plate and then pile a large amount of salad on top of the schnitzel. Top with extra parmesan cheese & serve immediately
