Prep 10 mins

Cook 5-6 mins

Serves 2

Equipment Needed

Chopping board, sharp knife, cling film, rolling pin or meat tenderiser, frying pan, spatula, measuring jug

Ingredients

For the chicken schnitzel:

2 chicken breasts
60g plain flour
2 eggs
100g Panko breadcrumbs
Oil for frying

For the Everything Bagel Peanut Butter sauce:

4 tbsp Everything Bagel Peanut Butter
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp runny honey
1 clove of garlic, crushed
½ tsp ginger, grated
2-4 tbsp warm water
1 tbsp Sriracha sauce

Method

1.) Start by getting the oil ready. Heat around 200 ml of oil in a large frying pan or saucepan, keeping an eye on it as it warms up.

2.) Next, prepare the schnitzel. Butterfly the chicken breasts, then cover them with cling film. Using a rolling pin or meat tenderiser, gently pound the chicken until it is nice and thin.

3.) Set up your pane station by placing flour on one plate, beaten egg in a bowl, and panko breadcrumbs on another plate.

4.) Now coat the chicken. Start by coating each chicken breast in the flour, then dip it into the egg, and finally cover it in the panko breadcrumbs. Set aside and repeat with the second chicken breast.

5.) Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken into the pan. Fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, until the schnitzels are a lovely deep golden colour.

6.) While the chicken is frying, prepare the peanut butter sauce by mixing all of the sauce ingredients together in a jug or bowl.

7.) When the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb any extra oil and keep the schnitzel crispy. Make sure the chicken is fully cooked through - the meat should be white and the juices should run clear.

8.) Finally, place the schnitzels on a plate and generously pour over the peanut butter sauce. Serve with a simple side salad and enjoy!

Recipe Notes

To test if the oil is ready for frying, drop a few panko breadcrumbs into the pan. If the oil is hot enough, the breadcrumbs should sink slightly, then quickly rise to the surface and start to bubble gently.
