Take your schnitty game to the next level.

500g skinless chicken breast fillets
1 cup (150g) plain flour
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 cups (100g) panko breadcrumbs
20g finely grated parmesan
Finely grated zest of 2 limes
50g unsalted butter, chopped
2 tbs sunflower oil
6 brioche buns

Cabbage and apple slaw

1/2 small white cabbage, thinly shredded (we used a mandoline)
1 red onion, thinly sliced
1 red Envy™ apple, cut into matchsticks
1/3 cup (100g) mayonnaise
1 pinch smoked paprika (pimenton)
Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
1/2 bunch each mint and coriander, leaves picked, finely chopped
1 pinch dried chilli flakes

Method

1.

Halve chicken breasts lengthways to a thickness of 3cm. Working with 1 piece at a time, sandwich between 2 sheets of baking paper and gently hammer with a mallet or rolling pin to 5mm thick.
2.

Place flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in 3 separate bowls. Stir parmesan and lime zest through breadcrumbs. Dust chicken breasts in flour and shake off excess. Dip in egg, then breadcrumb mixture. Place on a tray and chill for 20 minutes.
3.

Heat butter and oil in a frypan over medium-high heat. In batches, add chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes each side or until golden and cooked through.
4.

Meanwhile, for the cabbage and apple slaw, combine all ingredients in a bowl with 1 tsp salt flakes and a pinch of ground black pepper
5.

Slice buns vertically through centre, three-quarters of the way through, and fill with slaw. Slice schnitzel and add to buns. Serve with any remaining slaw.
