This works just as well for pork escalopes, as it does for chicken breasts. I like to set the meat up, by brushing some of my marinade over it and then leaving it in the fridge for an hour – It just brings out more flavour. The rest of the job looks after itself once you’ve packed the breadcrumb mix over the chicken as its all done in the oven. I actually like chips and coleslaw with this – it’s a great combination.
Batter down the chicken breast so it is even all over, approximately 10mm. Brush a little marinade (oil, garlic etc) and refrigerate.
Make the breadcrumbs by combining all the other ingredients, and seasoning with salt and pepper.
Dip the chicken breasts into the beaten egg, then coat in breadcrumbs. If necessary repeat the process until the meat is well coated. Allow to stand for 10 minutes.
The schnitzels should then be cooked at 175 degrees for 35 minutes or until the chicken is ready.
