Something simple for the weekend: Chicken Schnitzel with Caesar Salad - from this week's episode of Cook Like A Chef
Give it a go, recipe below 🔥
Serves 2
For the chicken schnitzel:
2 chicken breasts
80g plain flour
2 eggs mixed with 50ml milk, for egg wash
80g panko breadcrumbs
6 anchovy fillets
1 lemon, for wedges
For the Caesar dressing:
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp white wine vinegar
50g tin anchovies
1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 thumb-size piece of Parmesan, grated
250ml vegetable oil
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad:
2 heads baby gem lettuce
20g Parmesan cheese
For the fried eggs:
1 tbsp vegetable oil
2 eggs
Method
Place the chicken breasts in between two large sheets of cling film.
Using a rolling pin, bash the chicken breasts and flatten evenly until approximately ½ cm thick.
Set up 3 bowls: one with the flour in it, one with the egg wash, and one with the breadcrumbs.
Season the flour with salt. Dip the flattened chicken breast in the flour, followed by the egg wash, followed by the breadcrumbs. Repeat the process a second time to make sure they are fully coated, then set aside.
To cook the chicken, heat a large non-stick pan and add a good amount vegetable oil, enough to cover the base of the pan.
When the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken and a knob of butter and cook slowly over a low heat until golden brown on one side, approximately 7-8 minutes, then turn and cook on the other side for another 6-7 minutes or until golden brown. Remove the schnitzel from the pan and place on a plate lined with some kitchen paper to remove excess oil.
When you turn the chicken in the pan, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil in another non-stick pan on a medium heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, then lower the heat and cook for 3-4 minutes until the white is set and yolk still runny. Top the chicken with anchovy fillets and the fried egg.
To make the Caesar dressing, place the egg yolk, vinegar, half the anchovies, mustard, parmesan and Worcestershire sauce in a blender. Blend to a paste and then pour into a clean bowl.
