Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/3 cup plain flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- olive oil
- 1 tsp The Spice People’s Lemon Myrtle Leaves
- 1/2 tsp The Spice People’s sage Leaves
- 1/2 tsp salt
- fresh lemon wedges, for serving
- zest of half a lemon
Directions
- Place your chicken breasts between two pieces of glad wrap and beat them flat with a mallet or rolling pin – this is both to flatten them for even and quick cooking, and to tenderise the meat. Season each side with a pinch of salt.
- Place the flour on a plate, the beaten eggs in a bowl, and the breadcrumbs, lemon rind, salt, sage and lemon myrtle, in another. Lightly coat each breast in flour, then douse in egg, then finally coat in your lemon myrtle-breadcrumb mixture.
- Place a large pan on a medium-high heat with a good glug of olive oil and cook the schnitzels – two at a time – for around 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through.
- Remove and place on a piece of paper towel to drain and serve with your fresh lemon wedges.
