Chilli Chicken Schnitzels
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
6 slices stale bread
1 tsp chilli flakes
3 table spoons plain flour
1 egg (beaten)
1 lemon (squeezed)
1 table spoon rapeseed oil
Salt & pepper
Preparation:
Place the flour, salt & pepper and chilli flakes into a container.
Place the beaten egg into another container.
Reduce the stale bread to fine breadcrumbs using a suitable processor; add to another container.
Flatten out the chicken breasts, by beating gently with a roller until no thicker than a half inch or so. Season with salt & pepper.
Spread the flour on a plate and coat the chicken first in the flour, then dip into the egg; then coat in the breadcrumbs. Press firmly so that they stick.
Place in the fridge for at least half an hour.
To cook, place the schnitzels into a very hot pan with some oil and cook each side for about 3-4 minutes or until golden brown.
Sprinkle with the lemon juice, season and serve.
