Chicken schnitzel Caesar

Give your menu a makeover with this cracker dinner - by Barbara Northwood

Chicken schnitzel Caesar
Prep: 30 Minutes - Cook: 11 Minutes - More effort - Serves 2

I’ve taken the crowd-pleasing flavour of a Caesar salad and upped the ante by swapping the crunch of the croutons for crispcoated chicken. Make a big batch and freeze the schnitzels, layered between sheets of parchment. You can then pan-fry them from frozen. The Caesar dressing makes more than you need, but it will keep for three days.

Ingredients

2 skinless chicken breasts, about 150g each

30g plain flour

2 eggs, beaten

75g panko breadcrumbs

1 egg yolk

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp cider vinegar

1 large garlic clove, finely grated

125ml olive oil

75g parmesan, 25g finely grated, 50g shaved

4 salted anchovies, finely chopped

3 tbsp vegetable oil

20g butter

½ lemon, juiced

1 large Little Gem or cos lettuce, broken into bite-sized pieces

4 cured anchovies (optional)

lemon wedges, to serve

Method

  1. Place a chicken breast between two sheets of cling film. Using a rolling pin or meat tenderiser, bash it gently until about 1cm thick and evenly flattened. Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs in three shallow bowls. Season the flour and mix well. Dip one of the chicken breasts into the flour, then the egg, making sure it’s fully coated, then finally into the breadcrumbs. Set aside, then repeat with the other chicken breast.

  2. To make the Caesar dressing, tip the egg yolk, mustard, vinegar and garlic into a mixing bowl. Whisk together, then slowly drizzle in the oil, whisking constantly, until you have a loose mayonnaise. Fold in the anchovies and grated parmesan, give it a good stir, then set aside.

  3. Heat the oil and butter in a frying pan, add the chicken and fry for 3-4 mins until golden. Turn over and cook for a further 3 mins, then remove from the pan. Tip the lemon juice into the pan, sizzle, then spoon over the schnitzels. Leave to rest for 4 mins.

  4. Put the schnitzels on plates with some lettuce on the side, then scatter over the shaved parmesan and cured anchovies, if using, and spoon over some dressing. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
