Ingredients

For the Schnitzel:

4 large chicken breasts
100 g plain flour
2 large eggs free range
150 g breadcrumbs Panko breadcrumbs work best for extra crispiness
4 tbsp vegetable oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste
1/2 lemon lemon slices/wedges

For the Chips:

4 large potatoes Maris Piper or King Edward
2 tbsp olive oil
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/Gas Mark 6.
Peel and slice the potatoes into thick chips, about 1 cm wide.
4 large potatoes
Toss the chips in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and spread them evenly on a baking tray.
2 tbsp olive oil, salt, pepper
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, turning halfway, until golden and crispy.
While the chips are baking, place each chicken breast between two pieces of cling film or parchment paper. Use a rolling pin or meat mallet to flatten the breasts to about 1 cm thick.
4 large chicken breasts
Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
100 g plain flour, 2 large eggs, 150 g breadcrumbs
Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then in the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help them stick.
salt, pepper
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
4 tbsp vegetable oil
Fry each schnitzel for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and fully cooked through. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain any excess oil.
Serve the crispy chicken schnitzel alongside the baked chips. Garnish with lemon wedges for a zesty finish. Pair with a sauce of your choice, such as mushroom, garlic, or mustard sauce.
